[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro and Wildfire2

Richard,
 
We have had no problems with Allegro and Wildfire. The tricks are, and always 
have been:
1. Don't transfer vias.
2. Get out of interlink.

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
