OrCAD Layout .MAX to .BRD (Allegro) OrCAD 17.2 . Conversion?

ajeya over 8 years ago

I am on OrCAD 17.2 and finding no choice to "easily" convert .MAX files to any layout format in Allegro.

What is the recommended way to do this ?

There is no translation option in Import > Translators > " "

How do I go about this ?

QIR3, hotfix 17, added the Unsupported Prototype for the MAX file translation in the 64-bit PCB Editor environment, Setup>User Preferences>Unsupported>layout2allegro_unsupported. Current hotfix is QIR4, hotfix 25.

I am up to date on my installs and fixes (SPB17.20.042) and I can not find that option available in my drop down.

You need to setup the preference, as described in my previous post, and then restart PCB Editor to get the menu option enabled under CAD Translators.
