Allegro 17.2 Component Placement Problem

ajeya

I am new to Allegro. 

I have a .MNL netlist generated from Capture CIS 17.2. On Import to Allegro 17.2, view log says netin imported successfully.

When I do Place > Component Manually > The list is complete with all the components in my schematics. However, I do not see any graphics in Quickview or any indication of presence of component. 

When I check-mark a component and move the mouse over to the Allegro screen, there is no component visible.

In the command line log, it says > Cannot Load Symbol 

How do I proceed from here ?

    Correct. Allegro.exe runs as PCB Editor, that uses the 3 DAT files for the netlist (logic) import. (PCB Editor tabs in Capture) MNL files are for the old, no longer available, OrCAD Layout product.
