PCAD to Allegro

I am trying to convert a PCAD 2002 file to
Allegro. I have not had any sucess with the File>Export>PDIF function.
What do I need to do?
It does not make a file where I tell it, only an error text file.

Thanks,
Daniel

I haven't had any problems exporting a pdif from Pcad, but I am having problems with the import pcad to allegro. (version 15)
It seems to load the file at a 10x the normal size.
For example, a header with 100 mil pitch is loaded as 1000mil pitch.
Curious........

Unless I am missing something, I have only two choices of units: mils or mm (radio buttons in the configure menu of Pcad)

I tried the mm units and the same thing happened. Any other ideas?
