Hi Naren,
Do you still need this? I've got the routine to create a CircuitCAM file, much like GenCAM. Let me know.

You'll have to try these on ver15. I'm not sure if it will work. There's an Allegro document file in this zip file that explains the setup, and process.
This board does'nt allow the size of file, so post me your email address and I'll send it offline.
Good day.

You all will just have to see if this works on your current versions of Allegro. I know it had worked up to v14.2
The instruction in the .zip file is pretty explanitory.
Good day.

Hello, I try to use this program but it doesn't works. I have tried with a Orcard pcb editor file v15.7.
I send this command : C:\PCB\OC022_GPS\OC022.brd XTRCT.SCR and the no error message but there is no generated file.
Can you help me? |

Hi Nso,
This isn't an Orcad Editor version. This only works with Allegro. You'll need to read the readme doc file inside the .zip file.
Good day.

FROM THE CADENCE ALLEGRO.doc file:
Cadence Allegro running on Windows NT
1. In order to extract ASCII cad files from Cadence Allegro running on Windows NT, CircuitCAM provides two versions of batch and command files. These files must be used with Allegro’s EXPORT utility.
• XTRCT.BAT (XTRCT.CMD): These files make up the standard script which produces ASCII cad files without the net list information. This is the preferred script because the resulting ASCII files will be much smaller than those produced with the XTRCTNET.BAT script.
• XTRCTNET.BAT (XTRCTNET.CMD): These files make up the script which produces ASCII cad files with the net list information. This script will produce a much larger ASCII file than those from the XTRCT.BAT script. Consequently, the corresponding CircuitCAM project file will also be much larger. If net list information is required, then this script must be used.
2. Before running a script, place the batch and command files in the current working directory of the Allegro database.
3. To activate the script file, type XTRCT.BAT (or XTRCTNET.BAT) followed by the board design file name at the DOS prompt. The script file will use the corresponding command file and produce an ASCII cad file. The generated file will be CCAM.CAD (XTRCT.BAT) or CCAMNET.CAD (XTRCTNET.BAT).
4. The generated file should then be renamed to represent the board design file from which it was created.

Hi cadpro,
But, do you know a solution to transform a .brd of Orcad PCB DESIGNER in .cad like with Orcad Layout with the command export GENCAD??
Good day.

Sorry Nico, I don't know.
You might check the EMA-EDA.com website (product support) to see if there is such a thing.
Good day.

Hi Folks,
Went down this path earlier this year ...
The only way I found of producing Gencad was to first generate ODB++ from Allegro / PCB Designer, then import the ODB++ into CAM350 or Camcad (formerly RSI, now owned by Mentor) and export Gencad from the 3rd party tool.
I suppose a skill routine could be written, but Gencad is not public domain and the specification may be difficult to obtain.
If Circuitcam is your target, there are better options available than Gencad (ODB++, skill generated "FATF").

Satya,
extract.exe is a windows command, when you run the batch command XTRCT.BAT it calls MicroSoft windows extract.exe command to avoid the conflict Allegro extract command was modified to extracta. You need to edit the XTRCT.BAT in text editor and change extract comand to extracta.
Hope this helps,
Nagaraj. |

Thanks Nagaraj,
Yes corrected it.After running the above command getting the following new error.
Extract: 123200 reads, 12491 writes.
Extract: 123400 reads, 12570 writes.
Extract: 123600 reads, 12590 writes.
Extract ended.
sort: /tmp/sort0088800000: No such file or directory
Could you give a solution for the above.Finally it will generate a cad file ccam.cad with 0KB.
Regards,
Satya |
