Allegro HDL free viewer

archive

Hello all!

I am working with my company to figure out the best way for our manufacturing and remote service centers to use the schematic/pcb tools. We recently changed from PCAD to allegro hdl. PCAD offered a free schematic viewer and a free pcb viewer that allowed "cross probing." This meant that when a tech troubleshot a board, they could highlight a net in either the schematic or on the layout and see where it went in the design. The allegro tools at this time have no such functionality. They provide a free physical viewer, but not a logical one.

How have you worked around issues like this?

According to sourcelink, cadence has a free viewer in the roadmap, but with no definite date.

Maybe if we all bond together and yell loud enough, they will add it to the 16.0 release!

Thanks in advance.

Matt

    Hi Matt,

    The Allegro PDF Publisher might be what you want although it's not free to publish your schematics in intellegent PDF.
    I saw a demo at CDNLive earlier this month and the pdf files produced are every bit as useful as any free viewer.
    I think it's overpriced at the rumoured list price.
    It's available in 15.7

    Cheers, Dave
