Importing Board Outline

Hi, I am trying to import a board outline that is saved in a .dxf format into allegro. When I import it, I get an error that says - "Unable to start program; dxf2a". I have search online for dxf2a, but I cannot find anything about it. Does anyone know what it is. Thanks

dxf2a stands for DXF to allegro. It is in the install path under %CDS_ROOT%\tools\pcb\bin
either you have a path problem or an install problem. Probably best to file a report to Cadence help instead of debugging it here.

Thanks for the info. I was missing dxf2a.exe. I got the file from a co-worker.
