[PCB_FORUM] Re: DxDesigner to Allegro...

ORCAD supports cross probing and back annotation with the exception of rules 
created in constraint manager. Not sure what is meant by decal preview.

Hi,

I was told the Mentor DxDesigner to Allegro interface does support back

Does the OrCAD interface support crossprobing and decal preview?

Austin
