3D creation in the PCB editor window itself is an insane feature 🎉

The howto series is very good and very informative. However, I have one point of criticism: please create the videos without background music in future. In the long run, the pling plang plong is very annoying.

Seems like a pretty cool tool. I'm hoping my workplace can upgrade to X soon!

Is it possible to work on the same project syncing data simultaneously or every person has to close the project in order to make me work on the project?

Now all you need are Schematic Directives to drive that panel... one of the things Altium has that is great. Great for design reuse and cool since you don't have to name every single little 2 connection net to find it in a Constraints spreadsheet. Do it right in the schematic graphically. Funny how Altium now wants to go the way of a constraints editor. And a lot of Altium users gave up on that once they figured out it sucks...

Thank you !

Hi, I am using OrCAD X 24.1, when I am trying to publish a folder of footprint (bunch of fp) from local workspace into cloud workspace, an error ''Cannot access API because the system time is not correct. Ensure that system time is correct.' will occur. This error will not happen if I am publishing the file one-by-one. Can I get you advice if there any step I missed?

around 1m:25s when you search for 100nF, why would the result table show values like 1nF, 1.5nF or even 2.2nF ? this sounds not logical and is not what the user want to search for.

Hi, I have a question. If I closed the authentication window during installation and now it won't let me install it, what should I do?

Do I have to create my own VCC and GND? Why can’t I just import the parts?

Very nice video😢

Thank u.

It is a big problem that it is not possible to save or copy the information. Therefore, it is not possible to share it with other people in the organization. In addition, it is not possible to push the information of the replacement components to the database. In the bottom line, you can see that there is a problem, but not much beyond that. But it's a great and welcome start to an important tool

I've understood and followed along with the previous videos up until the moment the MCU (ATSAMD21G18A-MF) is introduced. I've downloaded the assets from Part 2 of this tutorial series and pasted the SYMBOLS.OLB and the how_to_videos_footprint_lib folder to their respective folder locations. Nowhere can I find the MCU and other new parts introduced in this video. Perhaps there is some other download folder that is missing?

I have a PCB file with zero silkscreen line width. I am not able to figure out a way to change it. It will be helpful if you could outline how that is done! Thanks!

What's the X for?

The end of the video was blocked by cards, can these be removed?

Dawg u got any videos on lenth tuning?

Compared to Allegro X, can OrCAD X support microvias? Say an 8 layer board where L1-2 , L2-3, L3-4 are stacked laser microvias and L4-5 is a mechanical drill. L5-6, L6-7, & L7-8 are stacked micro vias. The hope would be to have the L4 laser via pad and L4 mech drill pad tangent or "kissing" each other.

Amaizing video!!! It's very helpful!!! Thanks a lot!!!

thank you!!

Yo dawg the component library that u supplied is missing 10 components more, incluiding the MCUs, i say it cuz imma havin a hard time tracking the crystal oscillator(32.768khz) footprint

i got a question, how can i rotate a component after releasing it into the schematic page and grabbing it again ? how can i do this using the R hotkey ??

After investing so much in the data What about BOM export options

It's really nice But more importantly, how do I link all the library I already have, without moving their location on the server And how do I work locally without the cloud. The ability to work locally and not transfer data to the cloud is very important to me

dawg, what about the PCB Layout ??

Great job on this series. I do have to say the Altium-like interface is kinda cool - being a Protel/Altium user for over 20 years and have done over 3,000 designs with it. Used Orcad SDT DOS before that and PADS before that. The Orcad for Windows fiasco is why I went to Protel back in the mid-1990's Cadence is getting there... still a ways to go to be as productive as Altium. A few things: - Need shortcuts for all those times you have to go to the panel. - Also, a TAB keystroke would be cool so that it freezes where you were on the canvas and not be dragging things to the panel - Also - keystrokes for changing layers. In Altium it's the -/+ key Having to constantly go up to that routing panel looks painful. - Selection of routing vias - min, pref, max would be cool. - AND GET RID OF THE SILLY PADSTACK thing. Good lord, no need for that nowadays. - Again, in Altium, you can just use SHFT-space bar to change routing angle. - Altium's push and shove is a lot more advanced - even when copy-pasting via strings, like you do when you were pasting the power via stringers - it will push things out of the way. You never get DRC's at all. - FSO - Find Similar Objects. which leads to - A comprehensive list system for each editor. - A visual indicator of the snapping. Altium has a small circle for that. I see you copied their snap dialog, but they have a fairly granular set up for snapping including snap distance and such. I'd have to demo all these for your team to show what you really need to do to get this to the level that Altium's GUI offers. As to Constraint Manager - well, yuk. Altium just tried that and a lot of people complained. They recently shut it off as a default advanced pref. But I thought it through, and since I work with Orcad with one client they were always jealous of directives. A few videos here explaining why: two pin nets kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2G3k4NtjpeDnbM reuse kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSynoasjpadfK8 Even KiCAD sees the value of directives. I mean, a table to manage directives would be nice, and Altium has a long standing bug with editing multiple selected directives So yea - Orcad's getting better. But it got a ways to go...

This was so incredibly useful. Thanks. One note: Orcad X Presto Standard version does not allow the fanout tool at all. PCB Designer does. I've been informed that it's going to be added into Presto Standard in the future.

👍👍

Awesome, the video series was useful. Could you add videos about panelization?

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

When will the footprint editor have the ability to control all the layers like this?

Good

No music please, I have to find another tutorial because I can't tolerate it. Thank you

Nice

can we get tutorial on Flex PCB design start from step to step??

hi

How to export this result in to a excel file?

nice

during place multiple components action, I type in a RefDes and get a warning triangle in the helper window. What did I miss?

Very good video and I have a question. I am trying to setup the DFA package to package rules in order to have the DFA circle visible when I place the parts. Unfortunately the DFA circle never appears. If I place parts too close from each other, I do get a DRC error about DFA package to package error, so I guess my DFA rules are set correctly. I tried turning on all the layers, changing the grids, but no improvement. In the video, I noticed that the DFA circles seem to latch on assembly outline instead of the DFA_bound. I tried adding a filled rectangle on the component assembly_top, but it did not help. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

thank you

Hi, I'm new in the world of Hardware Engineering, i'm starting to use OrCad, it would be cool if you'd a whole series on making a BOARD (ELECTRONIC PROJECT) from scratch, thnks

Hi, i have the circuit of an op amp based pid controller. A VCO with sin(2*pi*(K*Vc*f)*t) as the value where K=1,f=120khz and a sine source with sin(2*pi*100khz*t) as value is given to a multiplier. The output of the multiplier is then given as the input of the op amp pid controller and output of this pid controller is given as a feedback to the vco where Vc is the output of pid controller. Can you please tell me how to do this schematic in orcad as I'm not able to give this eqn "sin(2*pi*(K*Vc*f)*t)" as value to vco and the feedback value Vc is not getting reflected. KINDLY PLEASE HELP.......

Hi sir

I think Cadence should include the option of viewing the name of the schematic design from which the netlist has been created. It will be help in 2 things, 1 after going to new layout, the display of schematic name in the PCB editor will ensure the netlist has been created from correct schematic design, 2 whenever we open the BRD file we can ensure there is proper sync between the schematic and PCB layout so that we don't need every time confirm the sync between the schematic and PCB

cool

nice
