Is there any skill file\procedure to convert an allegro board file from 16.x to 15.x version.

Thanks in advance!

    My understanding from the 16.0 training is "there's no way back". So unless there's a 3rd party method Cadence doesn't have a solution.

    Try to :

    In Allegro 16 ;
    Create artworks of all thinkable layers or DXF. End up with exporting a IDF file or export a placement file.

    In Allegro 15 ;
    Import the Artwork files or dxf files, and read in the placement file from above.

    Unless they did a huge bugbug, this should be working.
