Orcad Dsn File Viewer Free PhysicalMCM Viewer

I tried the Allegro Free PhysicalMCM Viewer and got the following errors: Error (SPMHDB-238): the database is corrupted.

Error (SPMHDB-180): database revision 1024.x is newer than current program version.

Suspecting these could be OrCad Capture files, I then tried the free OrCad ViewReader which turned out to be a translater rather than a viewer.

Orcad Dsn File Viewer Download An OrCad

The latest attempt was to download an OrCad 16.6 Demo Software and see if thats any good but apparently it takes time.

While Im waiting for the download to finish, could anyone shed some light on this issue What tools is it likely to be that I needed for viewing these design files Many thanks.

The netlist is likely to be text, but may not be if the PCB is not a BRD file.

The Gerbers you should be able to open with a Gerber file viewer, there are a number of free ones available to download.

The netlist files pstchip.dat, pstxnet.dat and pstxprt.dat can all be opened with a text editor.

If you also have.brd then this is the actual board file that you can open with the free viewer or the demo software.
