I started a new job, where they are using Cadece/Allegra/Orcad 16.3. I've laid my own boards out for 20 years and using several different programs but never Orcad. I'm having some troubles figuring out how to do simple things in the PCB.
I need to create a part, its a DC-DC converter AGF700-48S30LT. I need 3 different hole sizes. I've gone through the wizard and just normally but I can't seem to figure out how to add a pin. It appears that pins have to have their own file/drawing, so I created some hole files (this seems insane to me but it seems to be how it works). I created the pins through Tools>Padstack>Modify Design Padstack then right clicking on the pad and selecting edit. This let me create pads.
However when I create the pad if I keep the name the same it will modify all the pins rather than just one. Through the wizard it created 2 pin types one for pin 1 and one for all the other pins. But I need 3 pin types.
I've tried adding a pin, by selecting Layout>Pins then I select click somewhere, and I get the message No padstack specified.
Also I can't seem to change the pin numbers. I've double clicked on yellow number text and right clicked and nothing.
I've searched for videos on how to create parts in orcad 16.3 and I haven't found one that does it from scratch. Is there some resources out there?
