DB Doctor

Hi, 

Looking to convert an older version 16.6 of a layout and free viewer says I need DB doctor.  Any one know where to download or access?

Thanks, 

TonyD

    For the sake of completeness, you can find dbDoctor in your Windows Start menu under "Cadence PCB Utilities"

    But I've downloaded free version of allegro to be able to view Analog Devices some evaluation board design. You mean I have to buy full license of allegro to being able to use PDV DB Doctor?

    I wonder how mindless was ADI personels, who chosed allegro to embed their design in it!

    Hi I'm also using 23.1 version free viewer and had the same message pop up when I was trying to open a .brd file.

    It seems like I don't have DB Doctor installed, could I get link or file to download it over email?
