    Hi Folks,

    Went down this path earlier this year ...

    The only way I found of producing Gencad was to first generate ODB++ from Allegro / PCB Designer, then import the ODB++ into CAM350 or Camcad (formerly RSI, now owned by Mentor) and export Gencad from the 3rd party tool.

    I suppose a skill routine could be written, but Gencad is not public domain and the specification may be difficult to obtain.

    If Circuitcam is your target, there are better options available than Gencad (ODB++, skill generated "FATF").
