A GenCAM from Allegro

Hi Nso,
This isn't an Orcad Editor version. This only works with Allegro. You'll need to read the readme doc file inside the .zip file.
Good day.

FROM THE CADENCE ALLEGRO.doc file:

Cadence Allegro running on Windows NT
1. In order to extract ASCII cad files from Cadence Allegro running on Windows NT, CircuitCAM provides two versions of batch and command files. These files must be used with Allegro’s EXPORT utility.
• XTRCT.BAT (XTRCT.CMD): These files make up the standard script which produces ASCII cad files without the net list information. This is the preferred script because the resulting ASCII files will be much smaller than those produced with the XTRCTNET.BAT script.
• XTRCTNET.BAT (XTRCTNET.CMD): These files make up the script which produces ASCII cad files with the net list information. This script will produce a much larger ASCII file than those from the XTRCT.BAT script. Consequently, the corresponding CircuitCAM project file will also be much larger. If net list information is required, then this script must be used.
2. Before running a script, place the batch and command files in the current working directory of the Allegro database.
3. To activate the script file, type XTRCT.BAT (or XTRCTNET.BAT) followed by the board design file name at the DOS prompt. The script file will use the corresponding command file and produce an ASCII cad file. The generated file will be CCAM.CAD (XTRCT.BAT) or CCAMNET.CAD (XTRCTNET.BAT).
4. The generated file should then be renamed to represent the board design file from which it was created.

Hi cadpro,

But, do you know a solution to transform a .brd of Orcad PCB DESIGNER in .cad like with Orcad Layout with the command export GENCAD??

Good day.

Sorry Nico, I don't know.

You might check the EMA-EDA.com website (product support) to see if there is such a thing.

Good day.
