The Lattice layout file is in Allegro .brd format, can Lattice translate the file to other formats?

Description:

Lattice provides the Allegro .brd formatted layout file for the Lattice all evaluation boards. A designer would like to import the layout into another preferred PCB layout tool. 


Solution:

The formal answer is no, in that PCB layout translation is essentially all third party, outside the realm of support Lattice provides.


To properly address PCB layout file translation from one format to another, it is best to contact your PCB layout software vendor to see what they currently suggest. Their answer could range from providing a method to import the file into their tool, or they might be able to translate the layout file for you at their company and send it back to you. They also might be able to suggest additional software you can purchase to do the translation, or know of another company that specializes in layout file translation.
