Allegro Free Physical Viewer - How to Export/Copy Search Panel

igershk

I'm a mechanical engineer trying to export the list of all components and their locations from the search panel in the PWB Viewer. How do I do that? I can select all the cells but copy/paste doesn't work and there is no export I can find

    Seems impossible (or i do not find how to do it) in the new boring viewer.

    But in classic viewer (unfortunaly cna only opn brd up to 22 revison, not 23 or 24) you can:

    Display->Element

    In Find dilter, select only "Comps"

    select comps you nned. A windows named "Show Element" open. Here you can write the result in a text file (floppy icon) so you get information.

    @ Cadence: Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee publish classic viewer for new release. The new one is just horrible and unusable.

    Agree. Would like that functionality back from the classic viewer. It was very helpful. This design is too new to open it the old viewer.

    Hi JC, I have some recent news on that. You may find this mixed however but hopefully is welcomed as progress. The classic viewer has been revisited due to customer demand and so will be relaunched in OrCAD/Allegro  25.1 which is coming at the end of this month. The viewer will be accessible directly from the standard cadence installer. The main downside is that this will not be available from a standalone installation. But we will be able to open designs in the viewer alongside the PCB Editor with the same look and feel just like we have today.
