Convert the PCB of Allegro to a PCB file of the lower version (16.3 or lower), create a folder, and put the PCB file of the lower version to be converted in the new folder. 3.

In this case, the software will pop up a dialog box, so close it. 4. In the command bar, type skill load "dfl_main.il" Note that the number of quotation marks must not be small during input. There are spaces between the load and quotation marks. If the input is incorrect, the command cannot be executed. After you press enter, you will see that the program executes a large number of commands. The error message cannot appear for each command in the middle. Otherwise, the conversion fails.
