Hi @jonsonj5249, it's difficult to troubleshoot without seeing your steps, files, etc. but here are some tips that may help: 1) Make sure the placement window is closed. If the placement window is open, pressing R will highlight components whose reference designators start with R. 2) Make sure you are pressing R when in the PCB canvas- not within the command window. Hope this helps!

Absolutely! Here is the link for the design files: www.ema-eda.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TopXP1.zip

Interesting approach! Thank you for sharing, @tdrelectronics766!

Good question! For this example, since the flip-flop is clocked, all new data bits start at the falling clock edge. The number of clock pulses determines the number of bits for the output.

We're sorry you're having difficulties with this. There are several factors that could be attributing to this. We always recommend having the most up-to-date version of the software. If the issue persists it would require some additional information to troubleshoot which our tech support team can assist with. If you are an EMA customer, you can contact technical support here: support.ema-eda.com/ Or find your local Cadence support team here: www.cadence.com/en_US/home/alliances/channel-partner.html Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your feedback! We'll review it and make the necessary updates.

IPC-2612 and IPC-2612-1 are standards published by the IPC which provide guidelines for the creation and management of schematic symbols and netlists for electronic components. IPC-2612 focuses on the requirements for electronic product documentation, specifically for digital data acquisition and generation while IPC-2612-1 is a sectional standard within the IPC-2612 series that focuses more specifically on the schematic and logic descriptions of electronic products.

Thanks for your feedback! We will review and make updates as appropriate.

Thanks for watching! To apply a new template select Options > Design Template and choose the title block tab. Browse for the library location and define the title block name. This will populate the new title block on any new pages added to schematics. To replace old title blocks, delete the existing title block and place a new title block using the Place > Title Block... command.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback! Is there anything in particular you are looking to learn or see?

Hi @SciHeartJourney! Here is a walk-through that goes more in depth on assigning footprints and if your footprint name is unknown: www.ema-eda.com/lessons/lesson-6-part-information-2/. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your feedback! Access to pre-built models for connectors and additional components not contained within the default libraries can be accessed directly within OrCAD using Place > Component (the command may change slightly based on your version of the software). Within the Component Explorer, you have access to verified symbols, footprints, and 3D models from Ultra Librarian and Samacsys that can be placed into the schematic.

Thanks for watching! This video only details how to create the schematic symbol for a part. To create the internal logic, a SPICE model needs to be assigned to the schematic symbol. SPICE models are often available from manufacturer websites or can be created based on the component datasheet. You can learn how here: www.ema-eda.com/how-to-page/how-to-create-spice-models-in-pspice/

In OrCAD Capture, select File > Import > Altium Schematic Translator.

Glad it was helpful!

@@EMADesignAutomation I think it's quicker to just switch to Altium

You're welcome!

For buses, net names must include the name of the bus and the connections. For example, PROG[0-1]. If the connections are not present in the naming structure the net name is not able to be placed on the bus. Hope this helps! You can always reach out to technical support for additional assistance.

Thanks for watching! Those fields can be modified manually by double clicking the property.

Thanks for your feedback. This is a great suggestion!

This option was included in the 17.4 release. If you are on maintenance, you can upgrade your software to 17.4 or you can contact us at www.ema-eda.com/contact-us to get current.
