Board outline and a user created layer called bottom shields. Like I said earlier, both wrote out fine from the same design using 15.1... (which I just jumped back to for this DXF) no violations there, and the path was the same too. I have saved the design in both 15.1 and 15.2. No help. BTW to jump from 15.2 to 15.1 and back I change my CDSROOT... other than that, the env, ini and everything else are the same. (although I did try deleting the env to see if that made a difference... it did not) The tool is calling up axl (something), appears to do the work then reports an error... If there is a log file in the dir. If there is no log file it pukes that there is no log file... that in itself doesn't make sense. -----Original Message----- From: Mitch S.

Hi Gene, What are you trying to DXF out? Outlines, text, pads, ??? Anything special? I just did the top and bottom assy information again with no problems, and it creates a good log file. Don't really know what your problem might be unless you're doing something outta-the-ordinary. :) Mitch > > didn't work... darn! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gino Papelera [mailto:Gino.Papelera@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 11:10 AM > To: 'icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Anyone have problems with DXFout on 15.2? > > > Try renaming your env file and let Allegro create a generic env file when > you bring it up. > > Gino > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gene Carman [mailto:gcarman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 1:04 PM > To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Anyone have problems with DXFout on 15.2? > > > Bit baffling...
