Hi Austin,
I am sorry if I mis-spoke then ...
I have not bought dxdesigner in a while, and when I did last
I had the netlister for allegro in the "deal"...
I am sure it would not be hard to write a converter, the .tel file
is not that complicated...
Mike

Hi Mike,
It does come with PADS now as part of any "seat", Allegro you have to pay
extra for (and I believe always did). But, prior to the PADS "merger", I
believe you had to buy any netlister besides the "generic" one.
Yes, I have DxDesigner (and Allegro, and PADS)...that's what I checked with.
Regards,
Austin
