Orcad to Allegro quick fix?

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I have a customer who is currently using Orcad CIS and Orcad layout. He plans to migrate to Allegro but we need to get this board out ASAP. I’m currently running Orcad CIS and Allegro (15.51). I know nothing about Orcad Layout footprints and board files.

He has a schematic already drawn in Orcad CIS which contains his Orcad Layout footprint names. Can I take his schematic and change the footprint names to my Allegro footprint names and generate a netlist that will import into Allegro?

    Just changing the Orcad footprint name to the Allegro footprint name wouldn't work?
