To import your new Board into Allegro:

1. Using your Windows explorer, find the file that was included
   in your zip file that ends in ".bat".  This is a batch file 
   set of instructions for your computer.  Double clicking this 
   file should start the batch file.  You must already have Allegro 
   installed and runnning on the computer that the batch file was 
   created on, or you will need to modify the pathing of the 
   batch file.

2. It will create more files for you by first loading the 
   padstack tool, and then the part building software.  The parts
   will all be located in the directory the batch file was executed from
   and will contain both the .DRA file, the .PSM file and any
   other associated entities (like flash files and padstacks).
   
3. After the parts are built a board will be created, parts placed and 
   traces, vias, etc installed.  Once the board is completely built
   the program will exit.  
   
4. You will need to open Allegro up again and set your global 
   plane clearances and contact styles per your requirements.  In the case
   of planes that are part of the library (such as under an SON style part)
   you may need to create the planes manually and delete them from the 
   components.

5. Once completed, you will want to move the files that have 
   been created to your appropriate directory structure, so that
   the parts are available for use in your board.

This requires that you have Allegro installed in the normal 
locations and that it can be found in your pathing.  If this 
is not the case, simply edit the lines in your batch file that 
refer to your Allegro tools to find them in the correct location.

You may be running a newer version of the Allegro Software than the 
template file we are distributing.  In this case you will be asked 
to okay the loading of the file each time the script requires a 
file load.  You can update the template files found in the 
\installationpath\CadInfos\Allegro\*.pcb files by simply opening 
them in Allegro and then saving them again in your current version
of Allegro.  You should do this with the *.dra files as well.
