I'm in total agreement Farooq. Why should you need more. But, Aegis does
have the 'xtrct' script that WILL output a file much like PADS .asc file.
Here's the info from Cadence Sourcelink:

*Problem Statement:
The fabrication shop requires data for input to CircuitCAM. Where can
these extract files be located?

*Solution:

Call AEGIS Corp headquarters at 215-773-3571 and ask for technical
support. They will email you the files needed. These are the xtrct files
needed to generate a .CAD file. These scripts are used to extract designs
from the Cadence-Allegro CAD system. The included Word 97 file
"CadenceAllegro.doc" explains the extract procedure. Download File:
cadence.exe (31 KB) Double click the downloaded file and select a location
for the contents. The file "xtrct.bat" will need the following
modification. The line: "ad_extract %1 xtrct.cmd cctemp.tmp &" needs to be
modified to: "extract %1 xtrct.cmd cctemp.tmp &" There may also be a
Microsoft extract program resident in the Windows search path. If so then
the line should be modified to reflect the literal path to the Cadence
extract program. For example: "C:\Cadence\PSD_14.0\tools\pcb\bin\extract
%1 xtrct.cmd cctemp.tmp &" Note: The bat file uses a sort command and may
need to be modified to work correctly on Windows2000.
*End

Good day.
