No Brd output to layout.

 So, I follow the steps to create my design (schematic) I get it done, no errors and then save the file.

I try to "Export Physical" to have it able to go into the layout but there seems to be an eternity before it pops up and then it does not create the brd file. When I open the PCB Editorto try open the file it is nwhere to be found!

Am I missing a step? I have tried the tutorials/manuals but to no use asd there is no other step I seem to be missing.

 

Any help, much appreciated.

     I changed the name of the folder so no spaces. They have underscores now and the problem still remains!

    I checked the libraries are working for the parts, still no joy. When I select "Export Physical" in Allegro HDL it appears to work (hour glass) then nothing. About 20-30 minutes later it will pop up on task bar, where I select it and it runs but gives errors.

    Naming nets might help? As in NET1, NET2 etc? As of now, they are named  like this:

    Signal: NET_1_I9_A and Signal: NET_1_I17_B while Pwr and GND are there also.

     

    Help???
