    1. Open the project file (.cpm) via the Allegro Project Manager. For conversion feature always use Allegro PCB Librarian Expert.
    2. Go to Tools->Library Tools->Import->Orcad Capture to Design Entry HDL.
    3. Locate an Orcad library File (.olb) in the Library text box by selecting it using the browse button.The Part drop-down box is populated with names of parts in the selected library.
    4. Click a part to select it. The Aliases display box is populated with all aliases of the selected part.
    5. In the Options group box, pick one of the three choices.
    6. In the Design EntryHDL group box, select a library from the Library drop-down box.
    7. Click OK. The Capture part you specified will be imported into the library you selected.

    Best regards,
    Kishore

    Elgris Technologies has Concept->OrCAD and OrCAD->Concept schematic translators.
    The whole schematic (including libraries/hierarchy/graphics, etc ) can be converted between Concept and OrCAD.
    Check www.elgris.com for more details.
