Want to change D2PAK footprint with TO263-3 on Orcad/Allegro PCB Editor

I have a PCB *.BRD file. No schematic no netlist. On board 03 D2PAK footprint placed U28, U29, U30. I want to replace a only U29 footprint D2PAK with To263-3. Any body know the procedure to replace the footprint without schematic and netlist.

You could probably:
1. Create new footprint
2. Export netlist from existing board
3. Edit netlist so that symbol/device name matches your new part for U29
4. Correct netlist so the connections matches new part
5. Import that netlist
6. Place that symbol

You probably need to export the library files from the board since you probably don't have the device files.

Export to path you are set up to.
