Where to download the allegro_free_viewer_classic.exe

Hi, I downloaded the allegro_free_viewer.exe version 17.4, but I can't seem to accurately measure between pads, vias, etc. It seems people have seen able do better measurements on the classic version, as well as the 17.2 version. How can I get the download for either of these? Thank you

    If you have a complete SPB installation, the classic viewer will be in <CDSTOOT>/tools/bin/allegro_free_viewer_classic.exe location

    Thank you very much, I found the classic. If I may, I have another question. I am now using the measure tool but it measures wherever I click, it doesn't automatically go to the center of the pad, via, etc. Any tip on this? To measure center-to-center? Thanks

    Right click > Snap Pick To... and select what you want.

    Also, look at what is enabled in the Find filter. Measure will not automatically snap to anything that is not enabled in the filter for that command.
