Migrating from Orcad 15.7 to Allegro

archive

We just got Allegro installed, currently using;

Allegrp Design Entry CIS 16.0p001
Allegro PCB Design L 16.0p005
Operating System= XP Pro

I opened a exisiting schematic in CIS and I got too many errors & warnings to produce a netlist.
It seems it renamed all the symbol names in the part properties fields with a "temp_0001"
format.

So its obvious to me that there is a setup process of some kind that needs to be done.
I've been reading the help menu all day, but I don't seem to be getting any where.

Can anyone whom has been through this, give some advice to get me going?

    Typically this error message (You can not delete a leayer containing etch) means there's something on this layer - cline, text, shapes etc...

    To be able to remove a layer from the cross section there needs to be nothing on it. Quick way to check is to turn the visibility of everyhing off except the layer you are trying to delete

    Thank you for your reply, it appears when our footprints are migrated to 16.0 they add these
    unnecessary layers in the padstacks. Is this normal ?

    When I edit the padstacks on my parts it seems I have to do it " one pin at a time",
    is there a method to do it "globally" ?
