Thanks Jim, Richard, William & Lynn, I got it working: you need to launch both Concept and Allegro from Project Manager, get in "Select" in Concept, get in Place -> Manually then expand "Components by refdes" in Allegro, then back in Concept select and highlight a component then move the cursor back to Allegro to place. After a bit though, it gave me an application error and blew me out of the water. I'm thinking maybe it might be easier to place with Quickplace by schematic page. Thanks for all the replies! Gary E.
