Steve:
Will this mean there will be an ODB++ to Allegro database converter in
the works?
not likely but not impossible. It is extremely difficult to bring a
complete database into Allegro since the Allegro DB is very strict.
ODB++ need not necessarily contain all the info one needs to create a
basic Allegro database. As a mininum to get into Allegro you need:
Allegro Present in ODB++
netlist (optional part of ODB++)
component defn (again, optional)
component placement (optional)
pins (optional)
layers (normally included)
vias (optional)
conductors (included)
We're going to focus on the physical conductor part of ODB++ which
includes the layers of your circuit and the ability to mix multiple
circuits into stepped patterns. It is mostly of interest to the PCB
manufacturers and less to designers.
