Mouse Looses Ability to Select Objects in Capture

Hi,

Strange behavior today. Working on a schematic in OrCAD Capture 17.4 when all of a sudden, I can no longer select any schematic object. I can markee around the object to select it and right click to edit the properties, but loose my ability to left click on anything within the OrCAD schematic. However, by closing everything down and restarting OrCAD, I get my mouse pointer operation returned to me. I had this issue as well with versions 16.2 and 17.2 as well. Fixed it doing the same thing...shutting down Capture and restarting and things come back to normal.

This does happen every now and then and only with OrCAD Capture, not with any other program on my computer including other Cadence tools.

Mouse is new and was replaced, so not that piece of hardware.

My Machine: Windows 10 Professional (64-bit), Dual Xeon CPU with 192 GB DDR4 RAM, 6 USB 3.0 ports (mouse in one), Nvidia P1000 Graphics Card.

Anybody know anything about this problem?

Thanks ahead of time...

Are you running the latest version of software? Look at Help - About and make sure that it is 17.2-2016 S072 or 17.4-2019 S012. If you have PXXX as the number after the release then this is the base release. Log into support.cadence.com or use Download Manager and get the latest hotfix and see if that helps.

Hi Steve,

Yes, I always had the latest hotfix (currently, SPB 17.40.012) installed as this will occasionally happen regardless of what hotfix was installed in any version. BTW, this is my second high-end workstation computer (bought in December 2019) that has this identical behavior as compared to my previous workstation I had for > 6 years.
