Convert MCZ to HDZ

Understanding mcz and hdz file formats

MCZ files are typically associated with MCZ (Micro-Cap Compressed Circuit) files, used by the Micro-Cap electronic circuit analysis software. These files store compressed circuit designs, simulation data, and related project information.

HDZ files are most commonly linked to HotDocs Template files, which are used by HotDocs, a document automation software. HDZ files contain templates, scripts, and data for generating customized documents.

Why convert mcz to hdz?

Converting an MCZ file to an HDZ file is an uncommon process, as these formats serve very different purposes. However, if you need to transfer circuit design data into a document automation workflow, you may want to extract relevant information from the MCZ file and incorporate it into a HotDocs template.

How to convert mcz to hdz

There is no direct, automated converter for MCZ to HDZ due to their distinct uses. The best approach is a manual process:

1. Open the MCZ file in Micro-Cap and export the necessary data (such as circuit diagrams or simulation results) using File → Export or by copying the data.
2. Open HotDocs Developer and create a new template or open an existing HDZ file.
3. Insert the exported data or relevant information into the HotDocs template, using HotDocs scripting and fields as needed.
4. Save the template as an HDZ file using File → Save As.

Recommended software for conversion

• Micro-Cap (for opening and exporting MCZ files)
• HotDocs Developer (for creating and editing HDZ files)

There are no online converters for this process due to the specialized nature of both formats. Manual extraction and template creation is the most reliable method.

Summary

While direct conversion from MCZ to HDZ is not supported, you can manually transfer data between these formats using Micro-Cap and HotDocs Developer. This approach ensures that your circuit data is accurately incorporated into document templates for automation.
