Double placing components from Capture 17.4 in to Orcad PCB Designer 17.4 - 2019 S002

Hi everybody,

I have a query regarding placement components from capture.
If I select Place -> Manually and my intertool communication is active the components coud be placed directly from capture.

Problem: if the R1 is selected and placed and the next the R2 is selected, the PCB Editor placed R1 again and afterthen R2. By selecting of R3 the R2 is placed again first and then R3.

Everybody knows this double placing issue?

Thanksq

You need to get this reported to Cadence, either directly through your Cadence Support account, or through your Cadence Channel Partner.

Hi all,

I am having the same problem, even with Hot-Fix 005.

I though maybe there was a new preference variable in Capture or Allegro, but haven't found it.

This anomaly is very annoying, and slows me down placing parts.

The only workaround now is place parts in general groups by rat-nest, then look at schematic, and move each component to proper location.

Has anybody opened an incident yet?

Thanks,

Alan

Yes - It should be fixed in S006.
