Assigning Footprints to Your Components. Find components’ footprints in OrCAD PCB Editor’s footprint libraries and assign the footprint names to properties spreadsheet in OrCAD Capture, or simply find a pre-built component footprints from Ultra Librarian.

Ensure that the version you select to download matches the software version that you have installed. Before you begin to import, extract the zipped download on the computer that has OrCAD/Allegro PCB Editor installed. This enables the batch script to run.

To import your new library parts into OrCAD/Allegro PCB Editor:

1. Using your Windows Explorer, navigate to the downloaded AllegroV15.2.bat file that is included in your download folder.
This batch file contains instructions for your computer. You must have OrCAD or Allegro PCB Editor installed in the expected location in order to run the batch file. If OrCAD/Allegro PCB Editor is installed in an unexpected location, edit the lines of your batch file that reference the OrCAD or Allegro tools.

2.Double-click the AllegroV15.2.bat file to run the batch file.
The batch process creates additional files needed to support the import. First the padstack tool is loaded and then the part building software runs.

3.Move the files created by the batch run to an appropriate directory structure where the parts are available for use in your board.

To open your new library file after successful import:

When you return to the Placement List tab and browse for the missing symbols, the files should now be included in the list. However, if the files are still missing, the actual file may be saved in a different directory. If that is the case, move the files to the same directory as your other PCB Editor library files.

5.To select a symbol in the list, place a check mark in the box to indicate your selection.

6.Place the symbol on your board with a left mouse click.

Associations Of OrCAD PCB Designer With The File Extensions

Orcad pcb designer standard
Hi,
File -> Open -> Design.
Select File Type .sch in the filter then select your schematics
You need olso the original library(s) to convert correctly the schematics.
Hi,
i think that's the problem. We dont have the original library. And the customer dont have it also. He don't use orcad since some years and he did a backup of the schematic files only.
We must the schematics view and/or print only. Some other hints??
