Can't Open Pcb File

The PCBgcode files are in c:usersjimdocumentsulppcb-gcode-3604 The directories are set as below. When I try to run PCBgcode I get the message as the subject above. If I proceed regardless it complains that it can't access c:settings. If you look in the installation folder (C: Cadence SPB17.2 tools bin) there is an allegrofreeviewer.exe that will allow you to open as many board files are you like. This is only a viewer though so no changes. Liviovalerio over 2 years ago in reply to steve Is it possible selecting some objects in the viewer and then past in the other PCB?

The table below provides useful information about the .kicad_pcb file extension. It answers questions such as:

Compile the schematic from reverse engineering the PCB design yourself, then check the schematic for accuracy/correctness against the PCB until you got it right. I would have to believe you are looking for a shortcut but you don't understand the process even by which the PCB was originally designed.

Changing the filename extension of a file is not a good idea. When you change a file's extension, you change the way programs on your computer read the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file format.
