About Log Files
You can set the adapter to create log files during the conversion process. Logging messages is not mandatory, but log files can help with troubleshooting if the conversion process is unsuccessful. You enable message logging by setting an environment variable before you perform the file conversion. The environment variable also sets the location where log files are saved. Log the conversion of these file types:
EDIF
Expedition
DSN
PADS
GenCAD
ODB++
BMB
Gerber
Cadence Allegro
Mentor Boardstation
