Orcad X and Altium Designer ASCII file import with Problem, Help?

Hello. I'm trying to import a file from Altium Designer 25 that was exported in ASCII and every time it gets to Part 47 it gets stuck on this screen and doesn't do anything else, it doesn't crash Orcad X, it just doesn't do anything. I tested it with another board exported from Altium Designer 25 and imported it here in Orcad X and it worked perfectly. I've already requested the file that I'm having trouble importing again, and it always gets to Part Record 47 and stays on this screen. What could it be, and what could I do to be able to import it? I'm waiting.

    It seems like a board-specific issue. Without looking at it, it'll be difficult to know what it is that is conflicting in Allegro

    I realized by reading the log that the problem has to do with two components with QFN packages that are on the board, but I don't know what problem Orcad X has in importing such components. If anyone has had this type of problem with QFN and import and can help, I would be grateful.
