DB Doctor

Hi I'm using 23.1 version free viewer and had a message saying that I need DB Doctor 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?

    Hi Stacey, DB Doctor is available with any standard OrCAD or Allegro PCB Editor installation. Search for "dbdoctor_ui.exe". This is stored in the installation folder under ".../tools/bin". Gladly though the older freeviewers are now provided for install as mentioned above.

    It sounds like DB Doctor is required to open the .brd file. Unfortunately, I can't send the file directly, but you can visit the software's official website to download DB Doctor or check their support page for further assistance.
