Orcad layout 16.0 how to take a footprint from existing layout file to other layout

[Clinton Babu]

Hi,

Is it possible for me to take out an existing footprint from an existing OrCAD layout(.max file) 16.0 file?

I'm having an existing layout file where i don't have the custom footprint files of the design and I want a logo which is already in the layout design copied to other designs. How is it possible to get the foorprint from layout file? I'm using Orcad 16.0 .

Expecting your reply as soon as possible since its an urgent job to be completed.

Thanks in advance.

dears;
you can translate .max file to allergro .brd file using OrCAD Layout Translator. thin use File>export>library.
if you need to inmport your company logo or any other logo you can use one of the two method in below link

hi,
Thanks for the reply. But you are not clear about my question. I know the above technique which helps for allegro designs.
I'm having an OrCAD Layout(.max ) design file which has been created by my friend. But he lost his custom made library files which includes the footprints.
I want to use the same logo footprint for other Orcad Layout designs(NOT allegro pcb editr) which is already in the custom existing design. Hope its possible.
please let me know how it could be done.

Thanks in advance
