Hello All,
I thought I had achieved a successful conversion from some old OrCAD (DOS) SDT files (*.sch) to OrCAD Capture V17.2 (*.dsn). The converted schematics LOOK ok, but I run into serious problems when I attempt to generate a netlist.
Looking at the Capture schematic part properties fields, I can see the correct footprint names in the PCB Footprint field. However, when I attempt to create an orEdif64 netlist, I see that ALL footprint names show as 'PCB Footprint', and not the actual footprint names.
If anyone has ever solved this problem, I would be very happy to learn your solution. Thanks!
