Notes:

Allegro2Altium.bat and AllegroExportViews.txt can be found at: 

"C:\Program Files\Altium\AD19\System\AllegroExportViews.txt"
"C:\Program Files\Altium\AD19\System\Allegro2Altium.bat"

Refer to: Allegro Import | Online Documentation for Altium Products

Tip:

"Just remember... when using the Import Wizard, there will be several forms that open to allow you to select the file(s) you are converting.
In the case of the Allegro files, the first form will accept the Design (*.BRD or *.ALG) files, the second form will import Constraints files and the third form will import the footprint (*.DRA) files.

During the import process, if you are only interested in importing the *.DRA files, skip past the first two forms and then only import the footprint files."  Thank you James Jackson
