We ust GoToMeeting. You can let the other part only view the Allegro
session, not your whole desktop. The viewer does not have a save
option, so I believe this should be safe.

Hi Gary,
If they have control of the screen/mouse etc. couldn't they save the
design file off somewhere? Reviewing a complex PCB is many hours...and
I doubt someone is going to sit there and watch someone do that for
hours...
If the control is application specific, and not control of the desktop,
and the program (Allegro Viewer?) doesn't have a save capability (does
it? I don't remember), that could work.
Regards,
Austin

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?

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?

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
