Hi All

I was Wondering If Someone could send me a list of the Default Layer structures For Allegro.

For Example

Layer 1 = Electical
Layer ? = Silkscreen Top and so on.

Please e-mail me at
Cadtools@aol.com

Thanks In Advance.

Hi Philip,

I know what you're after, but allegro is not set up like PADS in it's data structure. Here's the setup typical to allegro:

(CLASS / SUBCLASS)

1) Board Geometry/Outline
2) Board Geometry/Silkscreen_Top
3) Board Geometry/Silkscreen_Bottom
4) Package Geometry/Assembly_Top
5) Package Geometry/Assembly_Bottom
6) Package Geometry/Silkscreen_Top
7) Package Geometry/Silkscreen_Bottom
8) Etch/Top
9) Etch/Bottom
10) Ref Des/Assembly_Top
11) Ref Des/Assembly_Bottom
12) Ref Des/Silkscreen_Top
13) Ref Des/Silkscreen_Bottom
.
.
.
etc.

It can be mapped to a PADS data structure, but it takes some trial-n-error. I've done it to a few databases, and I'm currently doing it to the pcbstandards.com library.

Good day.

Ignore my Last post.
I didn't realize how long the list would be and feel quite cheeky now.
I've downloaded the free viewer and can get the required
Info.

Thanks Phill
