How to export a ISCF (Intel Schematic Checking Format) file from 17.2 Cadence/Allegro PCB Designer ?

Is it possible to export a ISCF (Intel Schematic Checking Format) file from 17.2 Cadence/Allegro PCB Designer ?

Searching the internet I see demos with orcad capture, but this doesn't translate to 17.2 Cadence/Allegro.

Thanks for the help.

    It worked for me after specifying the -temp folder location, as shown below:

    C:\Temp\dsn\connorsville_fab_x_001_archive>geniscfnetlist

    Project file missing.
    Usage:
    geniscfnetlist -proj <project file name> -o <iscf file location> [-temp <log file location> -compprops <comma separated list of propnames>] [-pinprops <comma separated list of propnames>] [-groundnets <comma separated list of groundnetn

    C:\Temp\dsn\connorsville_fab_x_001_archive>geniscfnetlist -proj connorsville_fab_x_001.cpm -o connorsville_fab_x_001.txt
    Cannot open the list file 'geniscfnetlist.log' !!!

    C:\Temp\dsn\connorsville_fab_x_001_archive>md tmp

    C:\Temp\dsn\connorsville_fab_x_001_archive>geniscfnetlist -proj connorsville_fab_x_001.cpm -o connorsville_fab_x_001.txt -temp tmp
