Capture schematic footprint viewer

Hi

I want to see the pcb footprint when a schematic symbol is placed.

Example: CAP1206 on PCB Editor side, same on schematic symbol side.

PCB Editor path to footprint library is: P:\a_PCB_Design\CADENCE PCB DESIGN\SYMBOLS\CAPS, symbol CAP1206.dra

Schematic symbol library path is:P:\a_PCB_Design\CADENCE SCHEMATIC\Library\Lester\CAPACITOR.OLB, symbol CAP1206

INI file setup

[Footprint Viewer Type]
Type=Allegro
[Allegro Footprints]

Dir1=P:\a_PCB_Design\CADENCE PCB DESIGN\SYMBOLS\CAPS

followed by rest of libraries

When I select the schematic symbol (CAP1206) in the design and RMB for show footprint, I don't see the footprint.

On the command line it says: Allegro footprint CAP1206 not found in search path.

I do have the, P:\a_PCB_Design\CADENCE PCB DESIGN\SYMBOLS\CAPS in the Paths, Library, psmpath on the PCB EDITOR side. 

What am I missing for this to work?

Thanks

carvey
