Orcad pcb editor netlist generation

[PAVANIKARNA]

Hi sir/madam
iam using orcad pcb editor. Iam having a problem while i modified the schematic and at a time i have to change it in layout also. But when iam generating netlist i lost the layout what previously i have drawn. Every time it opens on empty board file. So with this i have do layout repeated it taking a lot of time. Pls suggest me where iam doing mistake.

hi pavan,
i think while adding the component you are annotating design.while adding the parts in orcad manually change it for example.

You can Do ECO on existing board instead of creating new board. Default setting in OrCAD Capture- PCB Editor is to create new board. You can change this to perform ECO by defining input board, keep input and output board name same. This would save all changes done by you on board and push only incremental changes from schematic.
