You could always use one of those "Go to my PC" type viewers. This
allows you someone at a remote location to view your PC screen and
move your mouse. This would allow them to query items, measure,
and view constraints, without providing them the actual database.
Caveat being you have to be online with them while they review the
layout.
Good luck.

Hi Peter,
But...if he can access the file (as he would have to do if viewing
it remotely) then he can copy it. Right?
I think your only choice is really printouts or PDF of each layer
etc. Or, OBD...why not just output an ODB++ file for him to review?

Austin

He can then use the database and build it somewhere else. I am
trying to protect IP. They have Allegro. Hard to explain on
here, but I need to keep the data in our hands.

Peter,
So if your customer is only going to be using the viewer? send
him the .brd file. He can't change anything with the viewer
anyway, it's only a copy you still have master data? I don't
see the problem or need for remote access?

Gerry

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Remote Allegro file viewing
I need to be able to have a customer look at a BRD file
without having possession of the file itself. As at least some
of you know the password protection in Allegro is useless. My
customer wants more than PDF files and I need to protect the
data. I want the customer to be able to remotely access the
file and be able to at least use the commands of the free
viewer. Does anyone already have a solution or any suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter
