    There is a raster program in Sourcelink solution 11022718. This will translate the image into a .plt file which then can be read in using File >Import >IPF.


    In addition to the above, there are 3rd party programs available to read raster images (BMP, JPEG, etc) and convert to DXF format that can be imported into Allegro with File > Import > DXF.

    Some links to these 3rd party programs are:
