    Hi,

    Check if you have ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB env variable set to your brd2odb file, it usually should be C:\MentorGraphics\ODB++_Inside_Cadence_Allegro\brd2odb_2211.

    Thank you

    VVRD thank you for your response but I don't see ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB. How to fix this, please.

    Hi,

    Go to your system properties, in Advanced tab, select Environment Variables, In your System Variables, add ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB as shown in below snapshot.

    Can you try to execute brd2odb.exe and check if it is showing any error like missing .dll files?
