Jean,
"plot_vectorize_text" is unselected and imports IPF as text...not
individually entities.
But it is still not searchable text in PDF.
Is there anyone with v-15.1 with successful PDF searchable text?
Schematic (Concept) works great!
According to previous postings, it appears to "kind-of" work in 15.2 but
works in 15.5.
Just wondered if there is a work around for 15.1?
Thanks, Mark

In Setup/User Preference/Plot, be sure the "plot_vectorize_text" option is also unselected and you should be good to go. To check, output a plot file (file > export > ipf) and then read it back in. Check to see if what looks like text is really text or just a series of line draws.
Good luck,
Jean

Dave,
Where do you select the "non-vectorized text" option in Allegro.
We are using V-15.1 and I can only find a "vectorized" selection box in Plot set-up. Which is not enabled.
I also looked in Setup/User Preference/Plot.
Thanks, Mark

I found the font: Arial, height 100% width 75% is pretty close to
allegro font size.
This makes the reference designators searchable on the pdf assembly
drawings.
Just another idea that all of you probably know about....

Why not give them the .brd file and a copy of the Cadence Allegro Free Viewer?

Using 15.2
Our assembly person is having difficulty finding parts on the more dense boards.
Can I get your input on a gerber viewer tool that is free and easy to use for an assembly person to find parts on the board?
