CADSTAR MIGRATION TO CADENCE ALLEGRO

I had this exact problem, the other day, to migrate a Cadstar design into Cadence allegro, we thought a possible migration route might be through OrCAD Layout, but the problem is once you have a cadstar.pcb file you cannot back migrate this cadstar file to an older version i.e. (DOS .cdi) We spoke to Zuken about this and this was pretty much their answer, so looks like we cannot use OrCAD Layout as a migration route for modern cadstar files. The migration route we are considering is to reverse engineer the cadstar file into Allegro. We also spoke to Cadence about this, they have internal translators which take cadstar.pcb files to allegro, but this would be done under their serives division and might be costly. Im wondering if anyone knows of any other routes of translation for this to be done?

update:
apparently there is a company called "Logic Swap" who have approached me which can do this as a service, not sure how successful they would be, but if I go down that route I will let you know the results.
