    Hello there!

    To convert an Allegro .brd file to an Altium Designer .pcbdoc file, you generally have a couple of options. Altium Designer itself has an import wizard that can handle files from many different EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools, including Allegro.

    Here's a basic step-by-step:

    1. In Altium Designer, go to File > Import Wizard.
    2. Follow the prompts until you reach the Select Design and Library Types page.
    3. Choose "Cadence Allegro" from the list of design files.
    4. Follow the instructions to select and import your .brd file.

    Altium should then convert the Allegro .brd file into its own .pcbdoc format.

    Please note, there are some requirements and occasionally, there may be compatibility issues depending on the version of the Allegro file and the version of Altium Designer you're using. You should ensure that your Altium Designer is up to date to improve the chances of a successful conversion.

    As for converting to .alg, I'm not familiar with that file extension in the context of PCB design. Are you sure you've got the right extension? If you could clarify what you meant by .alg, I might be able to provide more accurate information.

    If you run into any issues during the conversion, let me know any error messages or behavior you encounter, and I'll be happy to help troubleshoot further!
