How to Close Export Library Possibility in Allegro PCB Editor
Allegro PCB Editor is a computer tool, which allows advanced electrical mapping and floorplanning. Engineers can plan out the electrical layout of a real or virtual space, and export a given file’s data libraries to share with others. If you want to share the file but not reveal the libraries controlling it, you can close the export library possibility. The way to do so is by sharing it not as a default, all-purpose computer-aided design file, but as a limited-option DRA, or OrCAD Drawing file. A DRA compresses the information, sharing the end result without letting others see or export the libraries underneath.
