EXPORTING to .ALG file?

ICEWES619

Hi All,  I can't seem to export my file to a .ALG file to open in another program?  I've read I need Extracta.exe, but don't see that in my install.  Any advice is much appreciated.  Using 17.2.

Thanks Again!

    Can you try the below steps:

    The following procedure enables a Licensed Allegro user to convert Allegro binary *.brd files to Altium compatible *.alg files. The conversion must be run on the Allegro licensed machine.

    1. Locate the following two files in the \System folder of your Altium Designer installation (Summer 08 or later):
      Allegro2Altium.bat
      AllegroExportViews.txt
    2. Copy the two files to the folder containing the *.brd binary Allegro version 15.2 or 16 file.
    3. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder containing these files and type the following: Allegro2Altium your_file.brd
    4. Surround your filename with double quotes if the filename contains spaces, i.e.: Allegro2Altium "your file.brd"
    5. The ASCII file is now created in the folder. Copy the *.alg file to the Altium Designer workstation, Summer 08 (Version 7) or higher, and import using the Import Wizard.
