Hello Gary. To make it working, you have to go in Setup of Project Manager, then on Expansion tab, select Physical Layout. I am not sure if you need to re-package (we use it for a long time.) cfg_package is our default. But It seems to be logical to package again. It will probably create the cfg_package in worklib/project directory. I hope it is all needed to do it working. As far as i can remind, if the expansion is on vhdl_package, Concept-Allegro interactivity won't work. It works for place manually, show elements, move, delete...

I've heard that if you have both Concept and Allegro open through Program Manager, you can select a component in Concept, then place it in Allegro. Does anybody know what's required for this to work? I have them both open, but can't get it to work. Allegro PCB Design 610 (Expert) - 15.2 Allegro Design Entry HDL 610 (Concept HDL Expert) Windows XP Pro Thanks for any help! Gary E.
