Sjcharles,
        
   Another method:

   If the logo is already in the design, create a clip file by
   exporting a sub-drawing of the logo. Then text edit the clip
   file replacing "BOARD GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_TOP" (the original
   logo layer?) with "DRAWING FORMAT/TITLE_BLOCK". 
   Then import the edited clip file back into Allegro, onto the
   new layer.

Here you go then. 
1> Import plot file into a new Allegro layout using whatever Mfg. Pen#
Allegro assigns.
2> Export a gerber file of the Pen# data
3> Import the gerber file into a new Allegro mechanical drawing and
assign any layer you want.

Now you have a mechanical drawing you can import into any Allegro board.

thanks jim, but i use pen 3 layer for board silkscreen with the logo,
what I was trying to do was put logo in fab drawing title block. I guess
i could stay with text for fab drawing.
