Comparing two pcb layout databases in Allegro pcb editor

HSID

I am using Allegro PCB Editor 17.4, is there a way to compare two pcb databases to see differences.

If there is, what items does it look to compare.

Thanks

    Allegro is designed to re-import 274x gerber to the board class for verification.

    There's a rapid adoption kit on Support.cadence.com.

    "Allegro PCB Editor Artwork to Etch Compare with Custom Subclass Layer."

    Or, do you have CAM350?

    You can use the PCB design compare option within the PCB editor. It sorts the differences by net names

    Yes you can compare PCB's to PCB's you need to have productivity toolbox license , to know if the feature is enabled please type in tbx descompare in the allegro command window

    I do not believe we have that license. What does the pcb to pcb comparison check for and does it enable you to create a report of the differences. Thanks
