For the first point, you have to call File/Change Suite in Concept and select Allegro PCB design HDL. It works for us. For the second point, the error300, I added an alias in Allegro's alias file named error300 that calls the command: alias error300 "osdelete ..\packaged\pstcmdb.dat;(axlDBControl('cmgrEnabledFlow nil))" maybe the pstcmdb.dat is not enough, sometimes it needs to remove all *cmdb.dat files.... You have to load the BRD, run this alias, save the BRD and re-run the export physical.

We can not get any combination of tools to work. 1. Here are my choices when launching proj manager. 2. When loading Concept, I get: 3. Here are my choices When choosing Legacy, then no warning #2, but when packaging I receive the following error. Any ideas what the board could have been saved in (Allegro)? and which tool should be able to create the .dat files needed? pstcmdb.dat and pstcmbc.dat Thanks again for any feedback. Mark Van Os, Richard (GE Healthcare) wrote: The first case is a warning. Follow the message to turn this check of in the schematic. The error listed below it means the previous schematic was package with an expert tool versus a lower tier tool. So going futher into the error message Design Constraint Manager Enabled. Basically the repackage in the expert tool this will generate the missing files pstcmdb.dat and pstcmbc.dat Search on Design Constraint Manager Enabled in the help file for a full explaination. ~Richard ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [ mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mark Salberg Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:55 AM To: Cadence User Group Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Two Concept error questions We are experiencing the following two errors in Concept V.15.7 Any thoughts? We can not save the schematic or package to Allegro. 1. While saving the schematic, errors appear. INFO (voltage_on_hdl) HDL Power Symbol doesn't have voltage property. To turn off this warning please goto Tools->Options->Check and uncheck 'Voltage on HDL Symbols' option. 2. Packager error...there is nothing in Constraint manager.
