Create a new folder (for example C:\SPB_Data\convert_1), and copy into it the Allegro design (.brd) file you want to migrate.
Open the .brd file, and in the Allegro command prompt window enter these command lines:
Command> skill load “dfl_main.il” (include quotes)
Command> main out
The “main out” opens the Allegro to Expedition Translator dialog box. Click the Start One Way Translation button.
After the SKILL script has completed, any errors reported must be fixed, then rerun the SKILL script. The migration will not complete correctly if all errors are not fixed. When completed, numuerous folders and files are generated under the new design folder you created in step a.
