Importing from other tools

Lock2002
Lock2002 over 5 years ago

I'm having an outside vendor do some layout for us, but they don't have Allegro. The options are: Altium, PADS or Expedition. Which option would import with the fewest problems? 

I'm using Allegro 17.2 

Thanks

    No way I would waste my time with a layout house that did not have Cadence.  It makes no sense.  Plus how many resources can you find on the Cadence or EMA-EDA links to help you find a design engineering house?  I would agree with RFinley on the summary of the tools.  If I *had* to take in a tool it would be best from Altium.
