orcad pcb editor BEGINNER

[CMOSHC]

hi

I m new in orcad , i used capture to draw my scheme , but now i am stuck .
In order to use pcb editor you need to have all the footprints of the components.
So how do we deal with this . PCB editor has already some footprints , how can i know wich one to use , how can i get a list of the components and their footprints ? i am awar that some of them doesn't exist , so do you always creat new footprints ? and since padstack are used to connect (correct me if i am wrong) layers , is it essentiel to creat a padstack to cread a footprint if i am using a single board pcb ?

thank you very very much

Yes, you need to create all the footprints before you start routing. You may also delete part of the Schematics and add the components one by one.
