DXF output from Allegro 16.5

OLY29

I have some parts on a board I am working on that are rotated at odd angles, 87.625, 113.490 and 146.210. The parts look good in the Gerber files but when I do a DXF out the pads shown on the parts are rotated at either 45 or 90 degrees and not at what the part is rotated at. Is this a known problem or is there something I can do to fix this? We use the DXF out for our fabrication and assembly drawings.

    Which exact version of 16.5 are you using? There were some recent updates that addressed DXF output issues, if you have the latest hotfix, you will need to get the data to Cadence for investigation.

    s030 listed a fix for PAD Y offset in DXF export, maybe that's problem you have. It sounds like you need to get the latest hotfxi installed and see what results you get then.
