Sam, Cadence SpecctraQuest (Signal Integrity) will import board Station data. It creates a (dot) .brd file which can be used in Allegro. I haven't done it in a while so I am not sure about all the rules but since it is being used for signal integrity checks you would think they would transfer over.
