Help me convert allegro .alg file to Altium .pcbdoc

abtAmit

Hi everyone,

I recently came across the SK-AM62P-LP Evaluation board on TI.com. TI included the design files, and I thought analyzing them would be a great way to expand my knowledge of PCB design.

The project seems to have been designed using Allegro, and the provided file has an .alg extension. Since I don't have the software to open or convert this, could someone who has Altium Designer do me a huge favor?

I've attached the file. If anyone is kind enough to convert it into a .PcbDoc format and attach it in a reply, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for the help!"

  • .alg is not the native Allegro PCB format, it is an intermediate format used for transferring or migrating designs between Allegro and other PCB software.

    Altium should be the software to convert this. Normally PCB software companies don't supply exporters to support their competition. It is up to your favourite software of choice to rely on their import capabilities for other formats. 

    Have you even tried the Altium import wizard? What problems did it have importing the .alg file?
