OrCAD TO Allegro Attributes

archiveover 15 years ago

HI all

I am going to do one of my first big layout im Allegro layout .
the electronic Eng is also new to OrCAD.

i would like to know what are the most common attributes defined in OrCAD and passed to Allegro.
where can i find a list of attributes and their function?

which of those attributes can be also passed to the router.

please share with me any relevant info.

Thank's

  What release are you on? This makes a big difference. The file you need to look at is called allegro.cfg it is in the C:\Cadence\SPB_15.5.1\tools\capture directory. There are several issues with release 15 and beyond since cadence has gone to the constraint manager model. The biggest being the constraint manager isn't supported in the ORCAD flow. So you will need to decide where you want to manage your constraints Allegro or ORCAD. I have found that you can not manage from both. The flow completely falls apart when you have electrical properties defined in ORCAD and you change something in allegro. If you do decide that you want to manage those electrical properties in ORCAD my advice to you would be to make a copy of the allegro.cfg and put it in a place that won't get whacked by installing an ISR. You will need to align it with the current list of properties in allegro as it is not done in the recent installs. For example I am on 15.5.1 and in the released allegro.cfg from Cadence there is a property DIFFP_LENGTH_TOL being called to pass, well this property has been gone from the allegro flow for quite some time I believe 14.2, I have complained about this since the 15.0 release and even filed PCR's but it appears this is still broken.

这个需求是：orcad更新了器件的编号后，allegro那边布局布线后的就全乱套了。

思路，在orcad里面 嵌入一个唯一的id，然后这个id导入到 allegro中。

然后 annotate 原理图后，会出现新的 ref和id的关系。 然后通过id，更新pcb里面的placement 。中的 ref 。再导入这个placement文件，位置就能放置对了。

第一步：把orcad里面增加一个PART_NUMBER ，为啥是PART_NUMBER, 因为在

allegro。cfg里面，有这个配置。（我觉得自己添加一个应该也可以，没试）

网表里面能传递过来。

传递到了PCB。

后面就在怎么把这个东西和坐标联系起来了。 

发现这个 allegro的report是可以编辑的。 新发现。

 

这个地方应该就是 bom的报告配置的地方 。可以参考一下

 

 这个PART_NAME已经是有的，但是这人PART_NUMBER还是没找到。

找到这个part number了

 

 这个part number 导出来了。
