- If you still have access to P-CAD with a valid license for P-CAD 2006, you can open the file with that version, then use File ► Save as, and then import the newly saved file into Altium Designer.
- If P-CAD software is not accessible, an alternate approach would be to contact the Altium Service Bureaus. Here's a link:
