Packaging Error

IanByrne

When I try to package my schematic design for layout, I get errors, not able to create file.

I have a .brd file created already but can't import the logic.

 

Help?

     I am using Allegro PCB Design HDL andhave a very simple circuit. I have no schematic errors but when I try to package it for the layout, it hangs and gives me errors.

     Can't find that. It gives me no log file to view! (It takes forever it seems to even get this far!)

    But when  I try to import logic file I get this:

    When you package the design using File -Export - Physical for now uncheck Update PCB Editor Board. Then click on OK. Does the packager complete sucessfully ? If so open PCB Editor and use File - Import - Logic, Select HDL as the input type and browse to where the packager files are (it uses three and if you use the default naming conventions will be H:/Cadence/EU_Power_Board_Project/worklib/folder name/packaged (where folder name is the Design name). Once set PCB Editor should find your packaged files and continue with the import. That is the current error shown above.
