Allegro PCB를 설계를 하다보면 여러 확장자들이 나오게 되는데, 이에 대한 설명이 위 링크에 잘 나와있다.
Cadence Allegro file Extensions and what they contain.
*********************************************** .brd -Board database file–typically the printed circuit board (PCB) design file that you add symbols and anet listto when designing the board.
(PCB 보드파일 데이터)
.dra -Drawing file–graphics that can be graphically edited and used to create the binary symbols that are used in the .brdfile.
(심볼 그래픽 데이터)
.mdd -Module definitions–sections of a board design that include package symbols and logical connections.
(패키지 심볼, 로직적 연결을 모듈로 담은 데이터)
.psm -Package symbol, footprint.
(패키지 심볼에 대한 데이터)
.bsm -Mechanical symbol (board symbol) that gets added to a board with no logic attached.
(Mechanical 심볼 제작시 나오는 데이터)
.osm -Format symbol, (other symbol)–typically graphics, notes,drawing format, notes, logo’s.
(포맷 심볼 데이터 (A4 B4 같은...)
.ssm -Shape symbol–when a pad is an irregular shape (not a circle, square, rectangle, and so on).
(정규화된 패드가 아닌 이형패드를 만들 때 Shape Symbol로 만드는데, 그때 나오는 데이터 )
.fsm -Flash symbol–used to define a thermal relief pad. There is an editor that helps you automatically create these.
(Thermal pad에 관한 데이터)
.pad -Apadstack.
(패드 생성시 나오는 데이터)
.dat - Netlist file.
(pstchip.dat - PCB Footprint 맵핑정보)
(pstxnet.dat - Net의 배선 정보)
(pstxprt.dat - 사용된 part 정보)
.drl - 드릴 가공 정보를 가진 파일 (NC가공을 위한 G-code 점형가공).
(pstchip.dat - PCB Footprint 맵핑정보)
.rou - Cutting Route 가공 정보를 가진 파일 (NC가공을 위한 G-code 선형가공).
(pstchip.dat - PCB Footprint 맵핑정보)
.art - Artwork Gerber file
(거버파일)
.ilinit - SKILL initial file
(Allegro SKILL언어 초기화 파일)
.il - SKILL extension
(SKILL 파일 확장명)
.eil - encrypted SKILL extension
(캡슐화한 SKILL 파일 확장명)
.rpt- report file
(결과에 대한 리포트 파일)
.scr -Script or macro file–an ASCII text file containing Allegro commands that can be replayed to reproduce the same results as if you were selecting those commands.
.mcm -Multi-chip Module File (APD) A design file similar to an Allegro.brdfile, but different technology
(Allegro Package Designer 설계시 나오는 데이터)
.txt -Text file, such as that used for parameters. Device files are .txtthat contain the definition of a logical device including device type, package symbol,pincount, functions, andswappability.
(누구나 다 아는 텍스트파일)
.jrl -A journal file contains a record of events—menu picks,keyboard, and so on—which are recorded for each session in Allegro.
(내가 만든 이벤트를 기록하는 파일, 예) 마우스클릭, 키보드입력, 메뉴선택 등등)
.tag -Keeps track of the last board worked on in your current directory.Without it, Allegro will open up a new board file.
.INI -This file keeps track of the path your working file is in. The.INIfile also keeps track of the window location, the toolbar,and the status of whether the Control Panel is docked and it's location.DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, if you are having problems with Allegro. This file can be deleted as a form of troubleshooting. The file will be recreated automatically.
(맨처음 실행할때 환경변수 값, 작업중 알수없는 설정관련 오류가나면 이 파일을 삭제하면 다시 실행시 세팅이 초기화된다.)
.geo -This file remembers the location of forms the last time they were used and places the same type of form in the same location the next time it is used.DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!
.color -Color view—defines which subclass graphics will be visible or invisible.This file is automatically created when an artwork film control is defined or can be user defined.
