When using APD, for the correct Allegro fonts to be displayed in Creo View viewables, you must have version 16.6 or later installed and licensed.
If you do not have the tool installed, an approximate font is substituted, and it may appear different from the original in these ways:
• Font size
• Text position
To view some pad shapes introduced in Cadence 17, you must have Hotfix_SPB17.00.002 installed.
For all other cases, the tool is not required.
