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

mikentucson over 4 years ago

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.

You can't generate the ISCF file from within Allegro, the only option is to output it from Capture ( which calls the geniscfnetlist program )

Hi David. Thank you for the reply.

I can't figure out how to get my design into Capture. I do see in Allegro PCB Designer, Tools -> Library Tools -> Export -> Design Entry HDL to Orcad Capture.

It asks for a 'Library' and 'Cell'. For library I select 'card_lib'. For cell I select 'card'. Hitting 'OK', the translation fails with a LCaptureConceptUI64 window indicating 'Encountered
an improper argument.'.

A new window labelled 'Select symbols' appears. This looks like it wants me to select DesignEntryHDL symbols to export to a Capture library.

Am I barking up the right tree?

Thanks.

Wrong tree...

That conversion tool only converts schematic symbols, Cadence doesn't supply anything to convert Concept to OrCad schematics
