Info

PartBuilder can currently convert Allegro HDL, Orcad, Mentor (ViewDraw) and Zuken CR-5000/CR-8000 input symbols to any of the supported output EDA formats.

Unfortunately, Altium does not provide a way to export their symbols to a machine readable ascii file so PartBuilder cannot read an Altium symbol and convert it to the other EDA tools.
