Hi Alan, Typically, people use the ViewDraw to Allegro translator that costs something like $2500, and the other is to have ViewDraw output a PADS netlist, and there are a couple of ways to use that. Was the original Allegro .brd file made from these ViewDraw schematics?

I have a customer who needs updates to his old designs (previous contractor not available) but he uses Viewdraw to make his schematics. I haven't used Viewdraw data before and I'm hoping to get some feedback. He doesn't supply .pst files just output from Viewdraw which I don't recognize. Any help would be appreciated.
