John,
Intercept has a separately licensed product that will allow you to write out of Pantheon to Cadence Allegro v13 or v14. In the past Intercept has done conversions for customers on a contract basis for customers that did not own the translator. You should look on their website (www.intercept.com) for details about the translator and to obtain their sales contact numbers. If they don't do this any more they may be able to provide you with the name of an outside service bureau which has the license and could do the translation for you.

Subject: [InterceptUsers] Pantehon to Cadence
First of all apologies, I am a Cadence user, well for the SI tools
anyway. Anyway a sister company uses pantheon as there layout tool,
but I have been asked to simulate the Power delivery network for there
boards. I need to be able to import the pantheon data bases into the
cadence Allegro PCB SI tools top do this. I am aware that it is
possible to export Mentor and then import into Cadence, but I was
wondering if anybody had a more direct route. I need more than just
dumb etch, which I can get by importing a specctra router DSN file, I
need net names and ref designators so that the Cadence tools
understand what is an IC, capacitor, inductor ect.
Regards
John
