ODB++ from Allegro V16.01

One of our local manufacturers uses CAM 350 V.9.5 and I am using Allegro V16.01. He is having problems opening the ODB++ files that I've sent him, but I can open and view them in the Valor viewer. Has anyone come across any problem like this? We haven't had any issues with earlier versions. Could there be something in the setup file that I'm not doing properly? In the end, I sent him gerbers which he was able to use. thanks, Jackie

Check which version you are outputting. We had to go back to version 6 for our manufacturing to be able to read it.

Did you speak to Cadence about it? If so, did they say that they'll come up with a solution?

Version 8.0.0 (and later) of the brd2odb program, exports an ODB++ version 7 file. Version 7.x (and earlie)r, produces a version 6 ODB++ file. There is an option in version 8.x (and later) to force the creation of a version 6 ODB++ file. You might try that to see if it resolves your issue with the vendor.

Hope this helps.
