Hi all,
I'm completely new to PCB simulation and I have Allegro physical viewer with me.Now,I won't be doing the complete pcb layout but I'll be studying & analyzing PCB simulation(with .brd files in physical viewer).
And since I neither have the expertise nor the software to actually design/generate .brd files I need sample .brd files to start with until I can move on to a complex phase in my learning process.(And try as I might, I couldn't find simple .brd files by googling.)
I want the simplest of .brd/.dpf that a novice like me could understand. Is there anyone out there who could provide me with the required resources?
Thanks in advance.
 

So is there anyway to convert between the 2 formats so that I can view them in allegro?
 

That's not possible. The Allegro PCB tool (not the free viewer) has limited capabilities to import some foreign formats, but surely not Eagle.
 

Ok.. I finally got a couple of board files that works on Allegro. But now I've another question, what are the different aspects of pcb design should I know about if I'm going to be using the viewer alone?
(Note: I'm not going to do the actual pcb design So I don't need the whole editor/designer tutorial. )
Is there an viewer-only tutorial?
 

The Allegro viewer is fairly self explanatory for people with basic PCB design experience, I think. I managed to navigate through complex designs without having worked with Allegro before. I guess there's no specific viewer tutorial, you should have noticed the viewer pdf manual.
