Hi,

In the Library Expert Pro, after entering the data when I click the Spanner icon to Create Footprint, I am only getting 3D STEP output option. I am not able to create Footprint output files for Allegro, which is my default tool. Please let me know how I can create Footprint files needed to use for Allegro.

Thanks & regards,
Vinay

This issue was fixed in the V2018.07 release. 

You must to go to "Help > Installed Options > Select CAD tool" 

Or in the CAD tool "Create Footprint" menu, drop down the "Translator" option and select a CAD tool. 

Then select 3D STEP on the Right > Middle checkbox. 

When you output to Allegro, be sure to read the CAD tool import instructions -
