Re: Alegro Support

Allegro is not an intuitive software to learn but is not difficult either. It was written originally for *ix OS. If you know another layout tool by reading help in Allegro you can get started.

For importing DXF go to file import DXF select your DXF file preferably in Allegro folder. If you have already defined your layers select Incremental addition, failing to do so results in lost of all your layers. Also you need to know which unit your DXF was created select it accordingly. Now you need to create conversion file click on tab to browse and type a name for your file click open. Then go to Edit/View layers here you have to map DXF layers to Allegro after mapping the layers click ok then import.

Good Luck,
