Allegro Viewer Tutorial Software Takes A

The software takes a bottom-up approach using various tools to make individual parts from pads to the final PCB layout.

Those used to more beginner-friendly and self-explanatory programs such as KiCad and Eagle may be driven crazy by OrCadAllegros counter-intuitive design flow and excessive right-clicking (me included).

On the other hand, despite the steep learning curve, those weaned on the software find the level of customization and detail appealing, and develop a better overall understanding into what makes a printed circuit board and, more importantly, how this is communicated in the production files.

Its probably for this reason why OrCadAllegro is still very popular and is often the software of choice for schools and businesses.

The number of steps involved to just export a set of Gerber files leaves us craving a CAM file feature like in Autodesk Eagle.

And we cant help give off a little sigh every time we see the.art extension.

But actually, the export method has a lot in common with Eagle and is difficult to get wrong with this method.

Methods for exporting Gerber files from OrCadAllegro vary and are sometimes incomplete or not fit for the purpose of sending off the data to be manufactured for example with the Seeed Fusion service.

Here the information, or objects, for the copper, solder mask and paste layers are available.

Repeat the below instructions for each layer to group the necessary objects and save them into a View.

Gerber layer. This avoids confusion and is clearer for the engineers reviewing.

The software will generate your Gerber files in the same directory as your design file and in a folder called artwork, and display a log file.

We still need to generate the NC Drill file in Excellon format to indicate where all the drill holes on the PCB need to be and of what size.

Check the Enhanced Excellon format option in the new window and close it.

Make sure the outline is drawn in the Board Outline subclass and this is selected in the view.

Find the file with the.drl extension and make sure it is included in the package.

It has nothing to do with the format of the files but many manufacturers request that standard extensions are used.

OrCadAllegro does not have the option to add a unique extension for each file but so long as the names clearly indicate the respective layers then you should be fine.

If you really want, you can just change the extensions directly by renaming the files.

No assembly fees, operation fees or materials fees and shipping is free for all PCBA orders.

I started out with Eagle, went to Altium (still my favorite, by far), use Circuit Maker (Altium lite), and currently Cadence.

Its bloatware, it crashes, the program doesnt operate like anyevery other piece of Windows software, and things are hidden everywhere, or the same operation can be completed 5 diff ways, just cluttering things up.
