Allegro free viewer 17 trial#
Installing the OrCAD Trial version will install Allegro along with other included programs. Altium can import the Allegro ASCII *.alg file without having an installation of Allegro on your machine. Note that extracta.exe is tied to a valid Allegro license so when the trial expires you will no longer be able to import the *.brd file. If an ASCII version is not available, you can download a free demo version of OrCAD which has extracta.exe, as part of the Cadence Allegro distribution. You can skip ahead to the import instructions below (look for the dark screen shots from the import Wizard.) If both programs are installed and licensed on the same machine, then Altium Designer can automatically use Allegro's utilities to convert the *.brd file into *.alg and then into an Altium Designer file. Therefore, the conversion requires a machine with Allegro installed. As this utility is part of the Allegro tools, Altium is unable to redistribute this file, or the DLLs required to run it. Binary versions need to go through a conversion process that requires a local installation of extracta.exethat is installed as part of Allegro to convert the *.brd file to the Allegro ASCII *.alg file that Altium can import. To import the files, Altium Designer ultimately needs the ASCII versions. In addition to this knowledge article, please review this documentation:Īltium Designer supports the import of binary ( *.brd) and ASCII ( *.alg) files from Allegro (up to version 17.2). The name OrCAD is a portmanteau, reflection of the software's origin and the company's focus: Oregon (Oregon, United States) + CAD (Computer-Aided Design).
