Method 1—pads and allegro on the Same Machine

PeRForm the following steps to migrate an Allegro design to PADS Layout when PADS Layout and Allegro PCB Editor reside on the same machine.

Procedure

To prepare the Allegro design(s) for migration, copy the contents of the <PADS install dir>\SDD_HOME\translators\skill_scripts folder to:
Unix—the $HOME\pcbenv folder.
Windows—the %HOME% folder. For example, C:\SPB_Data\pcbenv

Tip: Some environments remove the above Variables when you run The MGC SDD Configurator. If this happens add them to "User" variables.
