Orcad capture symbol copy

ronnoz

I have to symbol editors open in schematic capture and I want to copy one symbol into the other. When a do a copy and past the pins cumber do not copy. Is there a way I can preserve the pin numbers on a symbol copy and past?

    I use the “split part” command so I can copy (copy and paste) the pin and etcetera to an excel spread sheet. This is useful when you do not have a copy of the original excel spread sheet that built the part. I know of no other way of doing this. I have a part built by someone else in which if I try to split the part Orcad capture gives me the error “ERROR(ORCAP-1260) package cannot be split as it contains 3 parts”. I have use this process many time before on multiple part heterogeneous parts. I thought if I rebuilt the part by copy and pasting from one symbol editor to another that would fix the problem. Does anyone know a way of generating a spreadsheet from an Orcad Capture part?

    I had the same problem with the same error. Open the part, and add the User Property with name SPLIT_INST and value TRUE. It had helped in my case.
