Richard, Thanks for responding. I want intelligent metal & body graphics. My intent is to (hopefully) convert PDF data from a data sheet into a graphical component template. Then I would impose this template on top of the corresponding footprint in Allegro to verify the footprint.

Do you just want a dumb shape or intelligent metal?
