Altium Designer 16 to Allegro Design Entry CIS

PhilH

I'm trying to convert an Altium Designer 16 schematic to Allegro Design Entry CIS so I can do the PCB layout in Allegro.

I spent most of the day yesterday on the phone with tech support at EMA with no luck.

We saved all Altium schematic sheets to ASCII file then used the "import Altium schematic" from CIS.

The Altium schematic is a hierarchical schematic and it seems the CIS importer is choking on some of the "harness" entities on he schematic.

We removed some of the "harness" entities and ultimately got the translator to create a dsn file, but when it was opened, it was obviously corrupted.

Has anyone successfully imported an Altium schematic into CIS using the Altium importer?

Any help would be appreciated.

    Steve, yes, We did follow that PDF document for translation. Did you translate an Altium Designer 16 schematic or a previous version of Altium?
