  • I am unable to download the Free viewer. I tried with IE-8 and Chrome. I can get as far as the final download link which points to an FTP address. It does not connect.

    When I try this FTP address in an FTP client, it authenticates OK then gets an empty directory listing.

  •  I downloaded today the vs. 16.6 of the Allegro Free Viewer but ... I can't open MCM files, why ?

     Thanks for your answer.

  •  The 16.6 version installs two executables...   a board viewer and a .mcm/.sip viewer. Did you open the correct one?

  •  Done Bill ... I used the correct mcm/sip board viewer now, thank you.

    Regards, Giovanni
