Exporting PDF in Allegro PCB Designer

Amano Ger
Amano Ger over 10 years ago

Hi all,

I want to export pdf file from a brd file with hatching format for shapes (left image), but Allegro just allows me to export as blank or solid shapes (right image). Anybody may give me a clue to solve this, thanks all.
I exported pdf with Allegro 16.6 lite  in File -> export -> pdf (for both optional Filled shapes or not).

    While you exporting it looks like that. Did you see it in Gerber preview tool.

    The Filed shapes option works for me so check the exact version of software you are running from Help - About. If it's not 16.6 S047 then go to COS and download the latest hotfix and try again.

    I opened Gerber films  in Cam350, everything was alright and all shapes were solid. But I just want to see shapes as hatch format on a pdf file. Is it possible, right?  

    Thanks, sincerely.

    My version is 16.6 P004 and the filled shapes option just gave me solid format for shapes not hatch on pdf file. I will try to update and exporting again, thank Steve.

    Hello,

    The PCb Designer Lite cannot export a pdf with the Export-->PDF menu...as it is a lite version
