[PCB_FORUM] Re: Remote Allegro file viewing

Like Jim, a couple of years ago, on Solaris...

I would run a Master/ Slave configuration running "xview".

I would display the allegro database and "drive" while the
engineer was on the line. That way we could discuss the items
in the database.

    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?

        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?

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
