Thanks to all of you for your responses. It looks like it's pretty safe
to just send the ODB++ output to a reputable Fab house.

The same holds true for Fujitsu Network Communications....we've been
supplying ODB++ exclusively to our Fab houses for over a decade. We also
use Enterprise 3000 to extract it.
We package additional drawings and data into defined directories before
the ODB zip file is created (for instance detailed information for
routes, v-grooves, counter-bores, etc. where both Allegro and ODB lack
specific support).
