You quickly edit the footprint pin location in the tool at board level.

In OrCAD X Presto, you can now edit pin locations quickly using the spreadsheet in the Search tab.

In the screenshot below, observe that pin 4 of the footprint is not aligned with the other pins.



You can easily notice the misalignment in the Search tab. As shown in the screenshot above, pin 4 is currently located at (-2.903, -2.118). Since the pins are aligned vertically, its x-coordinate should be -2.700.

As shown below, the distance between pins is 1.270 mm, and pin 3 is located at (-2.700, -0.635).



Therefore, the correct location for pin 4 should be (-2.700, -1.905). This can be easily edited using the Search tab, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.

    Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to quickly modify the coordinates of the two end vertices of a series of line segments in OrCAD X Presto？

    Additionally, when drawing the board outline in OrCAD X Presto, is there a way to draw precisely by entering or modifying coordinate values?

    I’ve long found Presto extremely frustrating when it comes to basic operations; many fundamental tasks can only be done in legacy(PCB Editor) at all. I honestly wonder if the product manager for this software has any real hands-on PCB design experience.
