[PCB_FORUM] Re: Netlist conversion from mentor tool to Allegro tool

Sathish,
If you do not have access to the device (.txt) files from Designer AND
you have all of the allegro models built and placed in allegro, you can
FILE, EXPORT, LIBRARIES, select DEVICE FILES.
put all of those .txt files into a separate directory.
Edit your ENV file to add a DEVPATH statement pointing to the new
directory containing the device files.

tool



Thanks Reade, Sue for the info. I tried importing the .tel file as you
mentioned. whle importing with syntax check enabled in first step its
showing error file for eg:

$PACKAGES
CDRH6D38 ! '3A_3P3UH_SMT_IND' ! '3.3UH' ! '20%' ; L17 L18 L5021 L13008 ,
                                                 ^
ERROR: Cannot find device file for '3A_3P3UH_SMT_IND'.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got only the .tel file right now. I think its searching for Device
files and library path. How to create config and .txt device files from
mentor tool and how to assign the path in env directory.

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

With Sincere,

Sathish.

        I think you may have more questions in mind, but I'll take the
simple track.
        Allegro reads in .tel files with no problem. 3rd party netlist
        File
        Import
        Logic
        Other
        find your .tel file in the ... button
        run the syntax check only first to make sure your netlist is
structurally sound.
        then select supercede all logical data (this actually means read
the netlist).
        Now for the problems, you will need a config file on the mentor
side so that you translate correctly - this may take some work - talk to
your mentor vendor.
        also you will need to have the .txt files that are created at
the time you run your netlist (these are the devices files) and point to
them through your env file. I have not run designer in a long time but I
think you need to select the option to create them.
