Abstract
Provided is a method, a system and a computer product to translate electronic schematic files between computer-aided software design tools. One embodiment of the invention includes converting source files, containing electronic schematic information, into output files. Creating, from the source files, export files that omit a sub-portion of the schematic information, defining omitted data, each of the export files having a file name associated therewith. Appending, to the file name of the export files, data concerning the omitted information to form an appended file name. The export files are converted to the output files retained in the appended file name. The appended name is diminished so as to remove all information therefrom, excepting information corresponding to the omitted information.
