Austin, CAMCAD format should be the same extraction as the old Valid format. You will not find this on a pull down unless you create your own. You will need to run the "extracta" routine with the proper command file to extract the appropriate items from your board file in ASCII. The latest command file (CMD) can be downloaded from various web sites but your CM should be able to supply you with one. If your CM can not send you one and you can not find one on the web then please feel free to give me a call. You can run the "extracta" in a dos command window or you can embed the function in a simple skill routine and add it to your Allegro menu. This way it can be run from a pull-down within Allegro.

Hi, I've been asked to convert an Allegro .brd file into something that can be read in by a program called CAMCAD. I've been told that it'll take an "ASCII" output from Allegro, but I don't see any ASCII output capability from Allegro in either the "Save As" or the "Export" selections. Any suggestions?
