We are using Cadence Allegro and are putting out an ipc-d-356 netlist.
The interface and driver for this was written by a PCB designer (me).
If you are an Allegro user, and want to know how this is done, try
going to the ICU next week in San Diego.  I'll be presenting an entire
suite of tools I wrote for Allegro that are in general use here at
Cisco Systems on Wed. (10-8) at 11 - 11:30am.  Hope to see you there.
