[PCB_FORUM] Re: Remote Allegro file viewing

Peter,

 

This sounds like your best solution. We've used NetMeeting in this
regard. You fire up the board, then allow the other person to have
control of the mouse.

He can check out anything in the design he wants, and you can see
exactly what he's doing. He doesn't have the database, you do.

 

Good luck,

Gary

You could always use one of those "Go to my PC" type viewers. This
allows you someone at a remote location to view your PC screen and move
your mouse. This would allow them to query items, measure, and view
constraints, without providing them the actual database. Caveat being
you have to be online with them while they review the layout.

Good luck.

Hi Peter,

 

But...if he can access the file (as he would have to do if viewing it
remotely) then he can copy it.  Right?

 

I think your only choice is really printouts or PDF of each layer etc.
Or, OBD...why not just output an ODB++ file for him to review?

 

Regards,

 

Austin

        He can then use the database and build it somewhere else. I am
trying to protect IP. They have Allegro. Hard to explain on here, but I
need to keep the data in our hands.

        Peter,

         

        So if your customer is only going to be using the viewer? send
him the .brd file. He can't change anything with the viewer anyway, it's
only a copy you still have master data? I don't see the problem or need
for remote access?

         

        Regards,

        Gerry

        I need to be able to have a customer look at a BRD file without
having possession of the file itself. As at least some of you know the
password protection in Allegro is useless. My customer wants more than
PDF files and I need to protect the data. I want the customer to be able
to remotely access the file and be able to at least use the commands of
the free viewer. Does anyone already have a solution or any suggestions?

         

        Thanks,

         

        Peter
