Based on the screenshots you don't have a Mentor Expedition file you have a Mentor Boardstation file set. You can import this directly into Allegro 16.5 (you used to need an Allegro XL license to do this in 16.3). Use the File - Import - CAD Translators - Mentor. You need all the individual files (tech, geoms, nets, components etc).

I think that went away after 16.3.

I had Allegro-L 16.3, so I got a TBL license for a year using Orcad Professional 16.5 (before I bought an upgrade to PA-3100.)

Never mind. I just realized what you meant. The Boardstation translation is also an Allegro-only license feature.
