OrCAD Capture: Advance Annotation function

It seems like you are trying to do advanced annotation on a Pspice schematic project type.

Advanced annotation will only appear in this dialogue box for PCB schematic design. Select File > New > Schematic and you will see the advanced annotate option or in the current project select the DSN file in the project manager and Right mouse click > Change project type > Schematic.

Thank you! It worked. Another question.. Why does it not show the other folders but just the rooted folder?

Hi,

It seems like your implementation of the hierarchies is a bit different.

In my opinion, the only reason to create schematic folders other than ROOT is to call those schematic folders inside ROOT as Hierarchical blocks. Once these other schematic folders are called inside the ROOT schematic, you will be able to see those as a part of the hierarchy in this dialogue box.

It looks like there are no hierarchical blocks in the MB Schematic Pages that reference the S<n> folders, hence they are not part of the "root" design and cannot be annotated.

Hi, I have the same issue. The reason why there are several folders created is due to creating of netlist. Netlist can only be created for the "rooted" folder. I have several sub boards that I need to generate the netlist. Combining all my MB - S7 schematic pages will yield a whole netlist which cannot be separated when doing layout, as such I have created folders to indicate they are of different sub-boards.
