Hi.
I have a customer who is thinking about moving to Orcad Capture CIS version. Currently they use capture 17.2 & the 17.2 PCB editor.
My question pertains to having a table in the database that can handle population of ALT_SYMBOLS so as to drive the PCB editor with that info if populated.
Is it possible to do this ?. Currently they use the ALT_SYMBOLS property mainly for slightly over-sized SMD footprints.
I guess to put things another way is can CIS drive all necessary properties to the PCB Editor such as device etc.
Lastly is it possible to bulk update the database with footprints, for example say in the DB there are 100 smd resistors defined for a particular manufacturer where the only difference
is the value. Would need to apply a footprint to those in one go if selected, Not one at a time if that can be done ?
Any advice on this much appreciated. They are just interested in the base CIS Only, not CIP or anything else at this time.
Thanks.
