When working with multi page schematics will the nets be connected across pages? Or is it necessary to place an "off page connector" for each net you wish to...
If you don't add off-page connectors, design rule check (DRC) will give you a warning: "Net has fewer than two connections". If you will procede to make the...
Hi, Does anyone know which footprint in Layout corresponds to the SOIC package. I think SOG looks about the same. But I can't seem to find SOIC in the Layout...
Ming, You have to pick the package from the SOG library basing on the mechanical dimensions from the datasheet. OrCAD catalogues the footprints by their...
Thanks. I see now... What is the SOJ library in Layout? It looks a bit like the SOG ? Ming To: OrCADexchange@yahoogroups.com From: kender_a@... Date:...
I need to include a RTC V3021 on my scheme. Are there a libraries for that kind of parts(the RTCs)? Or there is another way to include them. Has anybody got...
That part comes in quite a few packages. If you look at the datasheet (on page 365 - which you can download for free at datasheetcatalogue.com) you will see...
Hi, I have a small circuit that need to be repeated many times in the overall system. My question is: can I do a schematic of a small circuit, save it as a...
I'd like to join this question. I was wondering about this too. So far, I've been using only OrCAD layout 9.2. I guess even though OrCAD Capture 9.2 supports...
I have Orcad version 15.7 and as far as I know it is the same as version 9.2 - meaning one netlist and no hierachical footprint. Perhaps the guys at Cadence...
There is a fast procedure to change the distance from PAD to Solder or i must change this only from Padstack Spreadsheet for each type of pad??? Tnx...
You can't do what trying to do. At least not in the manner you're think of. Schematic is the wrong end of the beast. What you can do is the following: 1) The...
This problem was actually solved in the PCB386 days, but I guess since I did not stick around, folks did not understand the usefulness of this feature. Now, it...
Hi, anyone know how to undo the fan-out vias for SM parts once they are done? You can unroute after doing autoroute but I can't seem to find the option for...
John, Out of curiosity, how was this process set up in PCB386? How were the schematic(s), netlist(s) and layout(s) linked together to make one combined layout...
Everything was an object. Objects are made of a hierarchy of other objects. A component was a collection of objects. PCB386 walked the hierarchy and did not...
... pdf "printer", ... with ... file. ... Hello my friends. I have a little problem with this printing job. When i print my layout, not schematic, to PDF using...
Sometimes I hate this tool... >:-( I have generated 10 different parts, each part being one bank of my Spartan3 FPGA, plus 2 extra parts for JTAG and power...
Hello guys, When I select the component tool in Layout and select a component, click on it to change the footprint, how do I prevent the component from moving...
Hello, i'm looking for TSOPII-54 pin footprint such as described in the following link. http://www.chipsinfo.com/Datasheet/7D0BDA668C92BCF42A47D8E93669DE54.htm...
Hi, From the Orcad ver. 10.5 is missing the QFP library footprint. If it is true does anyone have this QFP.lib so I don't have to build it from ground ? ...
Hi all, So I ran autorouter. When I check the routing spreadsheet it says 99.65% routed. So there is a trace or two missing right? Then I enabled only the...
... 99.65% routed. So there is a trace or two missing right? Then I enabled only the global layer and try to find a ratsnest where the missing traces are but...
My layout engineer is struggling with OrCad 15.7. She added two ground plane layers but a thru hole connector with mounting holes is not being accomodated...
