What's Good About ADW’s Design Migration? 16.6 has many new enhancements!

Prior to the Allegro Design Workbench (ADW) 16.6 release, the migration process required multiple executables:

–    Netassembler
–    Archiver
–    Purge
–    Packager

It was also less robust with dependencies on external programs, and the error resolution was not always clear.

With the 16.6 release, design migration is more efficient and less error prone. Below is a quick summary of what’s new in ADW 16.6 Design Migration.


Read on for more details …
