Downloading ACAD2APD Modules
You can download ACAD2APD from this page. There are two distinct modules - Layoutgen (with its companion acslib library) which runs inside of AutoCAD and Layout2APD which runs inside of Cadence's APD. These are not necessarily installed on the same machine. They are licensed independently.
Requesting Password and License Strings
Prior to downloading you should email Artwork and request the following information:
- ftp server login and password
- program installation password
- program license strings
A sample email is shown below. (Please don't cut and paste the sample in its entirety or we will assume you are not smart enough to use the software ...)
