(Cadence) Allegro Free Physical Viewer - Measure Question

CR202507165038

Hello,

I've recently been using the free Allegro viewer in attempts to take measurements off of a PCB drawing I'm working on.

It seems they have excluded the measure functions from the Viewer or at least severely limited them You cannot measure center-to-center or vertex-to-vertex. Would anyone know of an alternative PCB Viewer that has measurement capabilities?

Best regards,

Cory

    Hi Cory CR202507165038 , you can type "show measure" command in the Free Viewer's command window and it will give you option of snap(to center,vertex etc)  in your right mouse button.
