Database comparisons - Version 13 to Version 15

archive

We are in the process of updating numerous Concept-Allegro designs to version 15, from version 13 (and below).  We have it all fairly well figured out, with regards to the migration path.

We are not spinning artwork and cannot easily and automatically verify the conversion by way of comparing Gerbers.  (Issues with differing output formats AND hand manipulation of aperture lists prevent a smooth process.)

Have any of you come across a comparison utility that would allow us to compare the Allegro Design Entry V15 databases to our Concept V13 databases?

There are methods whereby you can extract netlists, and run Unix diff utilities.  This may not work too well due to netname changes across the versions.  I worry there may be too much to filter out.

Help....

    Update:

    The XML comparison (inside Allegro) is fairly easy and provided the coursest look at design comparison.

    I have demoed DOCTAR and found it to be a very easy-to-use and helpful tool. From download to actually using the product was very quick and intuitive.

    PTC's EDA Compare is good and had the broadest scope. I believe it's not a stand alone product and is part of a suite of tools meant for sharing data between groups. It also had, or would soon have, the ability to filter the reports - this would aid me greatly.
