Component library

[Shahriar sakib]

I want to add component library to OrCAD and Cadence Allegro. I already have the Altium component library (. IntLib) file. Can I use this Altium component library file on OrCAD and Cadence Allegro ? And how to convert Altium component library into OrCAD and Cadence Allegro component library with footprint?

I don't think you can simply add altium libraries to Orcad/Allegro ... also I am not sure if you can directly import libraries. I would expect that you may need to import them through schematic and PCB (?) (means importing schematic and pcb is possible and then you can create libraries from that)

thanks a lot. Can you tell me what is the best way to import Altium project file in Cadence Allegro? As I am a new User of Cadence Allegro.

I would try File -> Import -> CAD Translators -> Altium PCB
