I'm fairly new at OrCAD Capture, and maybe I'm going about things wrong. In any case I'm trying to build up a library that contains the complete information for the parts I use in my designs. What I find is that when I then place the parts on a schematic page, there are properties that I added to the library part that don't make it into the schematic. For example, I find that I can add the property "PCB Footprint" to the part in the library and assign it a value like "SOT-23". Then I place the part in the schematic and I see that the value for PCB Footprint is blank in the schematic instance. Is this a normal behavior or am I doing something wrong? If it is normal behavior, then what's the right way to save complete components including all required properties so they can be re-used in another design?
