    I tried this on 15.7 s024 using IDF OUT -> PTC, Version 3.0

    My database is in mils, PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX = 374.016 MIL

    This works ok. Must be something more specific....

    What version of Allegro and Units are you using?

    I've exported idf 3.0 files from 16.0 with no problems. Make sure that you're setting the package_height_max property in the place_bound_top in the footprint, then update your symbols to your design. I've exported to Solidworks successfully with proper component heights this way.

    The IDF out function can't support the height, which you assigned to a Place_bound_top/bottom Shape manually.
    You should set height in symbol editor.
