The comment about only importing gerbers that were generated from
Allegro applies only to RS274X format. You MAY be able to import form
external sources, but the codes in RS274X have the ability to get pretty
complicated in nested loops etc. that Allegro will not guarantee that
its software will successfully import whatever was generated elsewhere.

That makes no sense. Gerber files are not anyone specific.
They are gerber files. A completely different animal than cadence
or any other vendor. What I would do is try to rename the
gerber with a .art extension and see if it loads in then.
I have never had any problem loading any gerber into allegro.
Unless, of course, it was broken.

before and it works fine. If you don't have a gerber to dxf converter
send me the gerber files and I'll make the DXF files for you.
