ODB export fails, "brd2odb.log does not exist."

jfockler

 I am new to Allegro. I made a simple change to a board silkscreen. I can successfully export the placement and the IPC but when I export the ODB data I get the error message:

"Allegro PCB Design XL"

'C;/USERDATA/.../ brd2odb.log' does not exist

How can I resolve this error?

Do I need to put my .brd file in a directory in the root ('C:\') directory?

  • Thank you, Gopinanth.

    From my ODB++  installation I have the following environment variable:

    ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB = C:\MentorGraphics\Allegro Export ODB++

    Path  C:\MentorGraphics\Allegro Export ODB++\nv\bin;%ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB%\nv\bin

    Maybe I need to install to a folder called C:\valor.

    Best Regards,
    Joe
