I have this error when I try to open a symbol from a library created with orcad 16. I don't have any dbdoctor and I need your help to solve it

Based on further investigations we recommend users look for the dbdoctor_ui program in the OrCADX 23.1 installation folder: 
 C:\Cadence\OrCADX_23.1	ools\bin 
 (or wherever your Cadence folder resides on your local drive.) 
 
 This ui presents with the following window: 
 
 The user selects the old brd file and presses check. The program updates the board file with this one button press. There is no need for further interaction. The old brd file has been updated and will open in the latest 23.1 viewer and editor tools.

Please let me know the Allegro installation version you have, as per the information in Menu: Help > About. I need to know this if we are to share the correct dbdoctor version with you.

As described above, please go to your installation folder. You will find all programs in the subfolder " 	ools\bin". You are looking for the .exe called "dbdoctor_ui.exe". 
 It should also be possible to simply search for dbdoctor from the windows start menu if you have Allegro fully installed.
