I am an IC designer and at work my boss is giving me the time to learn board design as well. at work we use cadence tools which means we have one called allegro 15.7 for brd layout.
the problem i have is that all brd's are not the same:) the .brd that is produced in the allegro tool is cadence's own version of a brd file and is not compatible with other tool's that use brd files. its like dealing with microsoft.. so.. my question is for people with candence experence as well as kicad. is there a converter? that lets me take a allegro.brd file and convert it into something that kicad or any other tool can read/edit? thanks for your time Ron
