Sync .DSN and .BRD

mmoyer777

I have an archived capture design (.DSN) that was sent outside for layout. Once completed the layout (.BRD) was also archived. Both were done with an older version of Cadence/Allegro and the .DSN was never back annotated nor populated with footprints. I'm attempting to update the capture design and back annotate but running into issues. There seems to be a plethora of information, but most seems to older versions of Capture. Can someone offer advice on syncronizing and back annotating the Capture Design file? Thank you in advance.

    Hi. Been doing this long time. You're in for a fun ride. You'll need to go back-n-forth with the .brd file and the schematic to get it in sync. It's tedious, but once you get going it'll get smoother. If you really need help, ping me and I'll see if I can assist (Emailto: CadPro2k@gmail.com)
