Hi, I'm running OrCAD Capture (no CIS) version 16.6 and having some trouble.
Here's my scenario ... I create 3 resistor symbols in a library named "R 10R", "R 100R" and "R 1k". After placing these 3 symbols on a schematic, I select all 3 and click "edit properties". Add in a few custom fields, "Internal Part Number", "Manufacturer", "Mfr Part Number", etc... I do this in the property editor because it's much more convienent than using library editor, where I have to individually edit these properties. Then I copy the symbols from my design cache back into my library and check the part properties and all my custom fields are gone. I also tried first removing the parts from the library, saving, then copying from my design cache into the library and the fields are still missing.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way of doing this that lets me modify multiple parts at once in the property editor?
Please note that my example is just a simple scenario, when I need to add more than a couple of components it becomes very time consuming to add each custom field to every part I need to create.
