better Free Allegro Viewer - Orcad Lite

robspcb
robspcb over 8 years ago

Since Engineers need a way to view allegro board files.
 And the Orcad Lite has more functionality , why not use that.

my blog at robspcb.com/blog/

Pcb Designers and Engineers need to be able to view the same database.
 So , those Viewers that don't chew up a license, are a great deal.
The regular Viewer is really limited in functionality , thats where Orcad Lite comes in to serve as a Viewer.
 Of Course there are a couple of install caveats. 
One of them, if you already have a license, it would use that up.
 Made a  Batch .bat file as a workaround, that way you can have multiple lite open.

Steps:
- download Orcad lite
- create shortcut on Desktop
- download PCBeditorlite_no_license.bat
- put on Desktop

    You can print and you can create a color view file but no reports. I'll mention this to Cadence.
