I have a unique problem that I'm hoping someone else has encountered and solved. I want to make a simple change to a completed Allegro board file from a defunct division of our company, but have none of their libraries or pad files. I do have an HDL schematic, but am unsure if it matches the board file 100%. (Also, we use Capture CIS, not HDL, so I'm unfamiliar with process differences.) The change involves replacing an existing multi-pin component in the layout with a multi-pin component from my own library. What is the best way to accomplish this? Can I export a netlist from the Allegro board file, make manual changes to the netlist, import the new netlist into the Allegro board file, and then make the necessary layout changes based on the new component? If so, how do I do this? Note: I can use either 16.6 or 17.2. The design was done in 16.3.
