Hi Austin:
It would be nice, but NO CAN DO.
The reason is, that there is design data in the host systems, i.e. both
Pads and Allegro
that is not needed for auto routing or that goes out to Specctra but does
not conceptually get changed and therefore does not come back.
If this was possible, CCT would probably have sold as many customers
Specctra as a translator between all the many host tools that Specctra
interfaces with, as they did for auto routing.

So, technically...if I can go from PADS to Specctra without a hitch, then
can't I go from Specctra to Allegro without a hitch?
