        Papanna,

        The best migration path for existing boards into Allegro
        is with a pick/place file and gerber files.

        Use the placement info with your own Allegro symbols,
        then load in the gerber files.  There is a built-in
        utility for converting gerber data into connect lines,
        it works very well.  You may need to do something sep-
        erate to make the vias appear correctly, but this is
        usually trivial.

        After that, you'll need to add the plane shapes and
        text etc, but you'll have a backdrop "picture" to follow
        from the old gerbers.

        Regards,
--
