How To Change Library Path In OrCAD Capture 17.4

Hello,

I downloaded the symbol and footprint of a part from Ultra Librarian to a local folder. After I put the part in the schematic there is a warning as below.

WARNING(ORCAP-2434): Footprint 'CP_32_15' specified in PCB Footprint for instance 'U1' is missing. Ensure 'CP_32_15' is in the library path.

Does anyone know if there is a way to add my local folder to the library search path? I want to keep the default library folder clean and use project specific folder for symbols and footprints.

Thanks.

So these DRC's are driven by the board file. Make sure your psmpath and padpath are defined in PCB Editor. If you don't have a board file you will see these DRC's until you run Design Sync then once the footprints are found the DRC check is re-run.

Ugh. When I see "Orcad Capture" in the subject, I think schematic. Not layout. Thanks Steve. Apologies to Bruce.
