Thanks, Andy
 
You've given us a few clues.  If you don't hear from us again, have a good 
Christmas break!

Hi Richard,
 
IDF imports into Pro/E (aka Wildfire 2) can take a while especially if the 
import has to model non existing components. But there might be other reason 
depending on the type and amount of data.
 
Contact me offline with the PTC Customer call number you received. I'll be glad 
to help.
 
Andy

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Allegro and Wildfire2



Hi all
We recently migrated from Pro/E 2001 to Wildfire2 for our IDF import/export.
There are definitely performance problems when importing IDF files from 
Allegro.  (ie, it's a Wildfire problem.)  It can take the good part of one hour 
to import.   Has anyone else witnessed this?  It was magnitudes better in Pro/E.
We always filter all vias and we are sometimes forced to delete smaller 
components, although this is not desirable as we like a full mechanical model.  
Component counts are usually a few thousand, say 3000-5000.
We are going through PTC support as well, but any other pointers would be great.
Cheers,
Richard
