prefprop.txt properties aren't working

Lock2002 over 4 years ago

Cadence 17.4

My ini location (according to the session log)

INI File Location:C:\Users\xxxxx\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture/17.4.0/Capture.ini

in the .ini file

PrefPropPath=c:\users\xxxxx\cdssetup\orcad_capture\17.4.0\prefprop.txt

All of the properties are showing up in prefprop.txt, but none are showing up regardless of the drop down option (schematic nets or flat nets).

Hi Lock

Over on the Cadence site there is an article on how to force Capture to read custom config file such as PrefProp. Possibly worth a look.

About 1/2 way down the page.

What Schematic tool are you going to ?

All the best.
