When I to go to activeparts  in orcad, Place parts - select ICA, the software goes to Cadence.com and not the ACTIVEPARTS screen. Am I doing something wrong ?

    I asked Cadence about this last week and was told they no longer offer this feature :( I hope if enough people request it they may bring it back...

    I think Cadence has built upon this functionality and rolled it into CIP (not free).

    The data on Active Parts was very dated so for now try looking at www.snapEDA.com or http://orcad.co.uk/images/PDF/Footprints.pdf which lists Manufacturers and tools that provide Cadence schematic symbols and PCB Footprints. Most are free some are paid for solutions.
