Warning while placing parts on schematic on existing wires

LOR75

I apologize if this is not the right forum but I didn't found a forum about schematic capture.

I'm recently passed to Orcad 16.2 and I have found an annoying problem while placing parts on schematic: if I place the part and then connect the pin with wires to other part is OK but if on the schematic there are already some wire and I place a part in order to use the existing wire the part can't be placed and a yellow warning triangle is showed.

This happen when I want to replace an old part with a new one without moving all wirings: the new part can't be placed where the old part was. In previous version of Orcad this was possible.

I suppose this is a sort of DRC warning but I don't know how to turn off.

Can anyone help me?

Best regards.

    Hi

    In capture go to "Options > Preferences" then click on the Miscellaneous Tab and check the box  "Allow Component Move with connectivity changes"

    This is from 16.6 but may be the same in v16.2 of capture, perhaps worth checking to see if that option is available.

    It should do what you want if it is in 16.2.
