Christian,
I have found no good freeware available for viewing this output.
Obviously, you could buy software to do this but it will not be cheap as
the tools do not come as stand alone viewers. So, to view the file you
have to buy the complete tool set. I would suggest going to your
contract manufacture for verification of your file to prove out the
process. More than likely they have the interface to read this data as
this is what they do for a living. Just remember the data, although just
ascii text separated by a delimiters, is more than likely formatted
specifically for Fabmaster tools such as TestExpert and other tool in
their tool set. The data has also been separated into different sections
which makes it hard to read into tools like SMT Maestro (a free assembly
viewer http://www.smtinfo.net/smtmaestro/smtmaestro.html).
Good Luck

After extraction "cdc2fab" in Allegro, what're possible checks?
Does somebody know a freeware to graphically visualise a .cad or .fab
file?
all input are welcome.
