Allegro Free Viewer 17.4 __exclusive__
Jubiläumsausgabe
BuchGebundenCHF21.80
The viewer allows you to open the Cross Section dialog. This enables stakeholders to view the PCB stack-up definition, including dielectric constants, layer thicknesses, and material types—essential for SI/PI engineers.
This article details the features, installation process, and practical workflows for the Allegro Free Viewer 17.4.
While powerful, the Free Viewer has strict boundaries to protect intellectual property and encourage license sales:
While the full 3D canvas is typically a licensed feature, the viewer often allows for basic 3D visualization of the board stack-up, helping mechanical engineers understand component protrusion and board thickness.
: It enables a "single source of truth" by allowing everyone to view the native design database directly, rather than relying on static PDFs or Gerber files that may lack critical metadata. System Requirements for Version 17.4
: Includes tools for measuring distances between nets, pins, and vias, and performing property queries to understand the electrical characteristics of specific elements.
The most visible change in 17.4 is the user interface. The tool now supports a sleeker, darker theme that reduces eye strain and aligns with modern software aesthetics. The menus and icons have been flattened and reorganized, making it easier for new users to navigate compared to the legacy "Windows 95 style" interfaces of older versions.
