Question about Cadence PCB Layout

gudusky

I had a PCB layout (.max) generated by old OrCAD program. Now I imported this .max layout and opeded it in Cadenece PCB Editor. I want to create gerber files based on this layout and some changes to the circuit.

My question is can I just do it in PCB Editor without touching the schematic using Design Entry CIS?

More specifically:

1. How can I delete a connection line and add a new one between another two components/nodes in PCB Editor?

2. How can I add a new component, say resistor, in the layout directly?

 Thanks for any inputs.

     Let's assume you really want to do this.  IF you have the perfomance license L and up you can edit within Allegro.


    If you don't, you can export the netlist (File->Export->Netlist w/Properties), then edit that in a text editor, then import (File->Import->Logic->Other) and this will now read in a new netlist with your changes.
