    Thanks for sharing. Currently we do not support direct import of KiCAD database. Allegro PCB Editor supports export/import of DXF files. You may wish to try exporting DXF from KiCAD and then try importing the DXF into Allegro, if that helps.

    A Cadence Change Request (CCR) has been submitted on your behalf addressing this query. The CCR number is 2832687.

    Also, consider the import support for Zuken Cadstar, CR-8000 & LTSpice. I feel Altium is doing better job in providing translators to designs from all other tools.
