Hi,
I had used some shapes for pads of my symbol. I changed shape origin and updated pads and symbol.Although everything is right with the symbol and pads are in the right distance, my symbol pads are displaced after I update my PCB design. I am confused and don't see why? Below picture shows correct symbol and its corrupted one after update in PCB.
I would appreciate any help.

Hi,
I created a schematic in Capture 16.3 and I can no longer move any part or net. Whenever I try to move anything, it shows "Object move not completed as this resulted in connectivity changes". Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks.
I'm using 16.3-S014
I have a database(.mdb), i want to use it in cis ,when I select -option--->cis configuration--->New , i select my database then i have this message :
ERROR (ORCIS-6245) ; Database Operation Failed Please check session for more details
I should have a licence of Microsoft access ?
Hello everyone,
I'm new here and also new to Cadence OrCAD capture.
I'm currently used OrCAD16.3 to build schematic symbol and have the error as the picture below everytime I trave to save or close it.
Is OrCAD required all the pin name have to be different even GND, VCC, NC, and DNU?
Thank you very much
In the file Capture.ini I have the entry:
[Allegro Footprints]
Dir0=C:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\share\pcb\pcb_lib\symbols
At this place I find files with the endings .dra .psm .osm .jrl
Within the pcb editor I see under place\manually even symbols.
These symbols I do not see in a file location.
When I try to see the symbols in capture I get the error message:
ERROR(ORCAP-1733): Allegro footprint BGA100_10X10_10 was not found in the search path
How can I solve this problem ?
I have few questions to ask here(I am a new user), much appreciated for your help.
1. How to make Die bonding IC package? I have pad coordiantes. Doese I need use Allegro package design tools? or the general Allegro PCB designer is enough? Because I found my company floating license is limited for Allegro PCB design.
2. when i import DXF file as my PCB board outline, but I found the size is zoomed out, the actual size is only 1/8, so what's the reason and how to solve it?
Thanks,
Hi,
I need to place vias on my polygones. Although I have configured SMD pin to Thru via Same net spacing rule to 0 for my Power Net Class, I receive DRC error as OVERLAP?!. :-( Is there a way to bypass this error?!.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I have copied some vias from other routed nets. I have a problem and that is I can't find anywhere to change this copied vias net property!.. Could anybody please help?
I am also going to align some vias vertically or horizantally. If I go to placement edit mode I'll see that I can't select vias like symbols to align them or change space between them?!..
I would appreciate any help.

Hello,
I want to create a footprint for the QFN-16 package but OrCAD PCB Editor Package Symbol Wizard doesn't have one. Please guide me how to create one from scratch.
Thank you very much.
as topic. i just installed it, when running allegro_pcb, it says retrieval of pcb_design_studio licence failed.

Is their any option wherein we can create the placement reports from PCB Editor with component type/class specifying as TH or SMD package. File-Export-placement doesn't carry this info!
Hi,
When I want to route some tracks of pins I can't place via just near the pin, while for neighbour pins I can do it easily. I have also defined a Power class net for both of them with pin to thru via spacing of 0.
Below picture clarify the issue better:
Thanks in advance,

Hi Guys,
i have setup a board for RF DC Nets extra and it was working for the last few days however today when i go to add more components using the RF-PCB quickplace i get the following error:
Extracting stackup details of the design...
E- *Error* parseString: argument #1 should be either a string or a symbol (type template = "SS") - nil

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi,
I have read some posts here as well as below link from Cadance about how to do pin swap.
http://www.cadence.com/community/blogs/pcb/archive/2013/01/09/customer-support-recommended-pin-swapping-in-allegro-design-entry-cis-and-pcb-editor-flow.aspx
Although I have added PinGroup property to my component pins and gave them a positive value, I still receive below message when I want to swap pins:
Pin is not swappable because the swap code is zero ... pick again.
I looked at pin properties in Cpatre Schematic and saw another property named Swap Id with value -1 that can't be changed!. How can I swap pins?
I am very short of time please help.
Hello,
I'm really new to the OrCAD layout and know nothing about this before. I'm sorry if there is any dump questions from me :)
I'm try to create a foot print for this part.
1. First question is: As I understand that to create this footprint I first need to create the 0.40 x 1.22mm pad right?
To create the pad I learn that I need to used Pad Designer. I also have have couple questions about this as well.
2. What informations I need to enter in the box 1, 2, and 3? What do they mean? Is there any book teaching about this? I would like to buy one to read. Or any guide that show how to make a simple SMD pad.
3. For SMD pad, I just need a Single layer mode???
Please help a newbie out. Appreciate for your help.
Hello ,
Can anybody please tell me about how to use signal integrity in Orcad . I want some detailed tutorials of how to perform Signal integrity on circuits .
