Hi,

I've imported an ODB++ file from Xpedition into SI Wave before, however it seems that now it is throwing an error.

Whenver I try to import a file, it throws an error and tells me to look at the ODBpp_translation log file.

When I open that file, I see the follwoing inside

Output: C:/Users/c1026938/AppData/Local/Temp/ODBpp.aedb
Translation Start: Wed Apr 19 09:48:15 2023
ODB++ translation
Error: 'C:/Users/c1026xx/AppData/Local/Temp/3D33799616818940950.anstranslator\._1' is not a valid ODB++ directory
Total Errors: 1 Total Warnings: 0
Translation Stop: Wed Apr 19 09:48:16 2023

How can I solve thids issue?

Best Regards,

Glenn

I'm having the similar problem.  Did you find a solution yet?

I'm having the same problem in AED but can import into SI Wave.

Hi All,

I belive, I just messed around with the export settings for a while and then it kind of fixed itself. I can't quite remeber exactly what I did.

[Michael Mohle]

Where did you access the export settings?

[Glenn Galea]

The export settings of Mentor Graphics to generate the odb++ file. I had to mess about with which components of the pcb to export. I rember playing around with the tick boxes and the file paths till I managed to get it to export

This seems to be an error from the odb extraction process in the Mentor tool. Kindly follow the guidelines prescribed in the mentor tool for a correct odb extraction. Alternatively, you may use IPC2581 format as well.
