Design Rule Checks are your savior

Today’s PCB designs are like a 3D puzzle. You need to put thousands of components and connections on a multilayer board and the schematic. In such a complex design, mistakes are bound to happen.

Design Rule Checks (DRCs) help you catch those mistakes early in the design cycle and save you ever so precious time. Here is an article on DRC for you.

Using Orcad capture 17.2, is there a way to check duplicate reference designator when running DRC?

I have enabled all checks with no success.

If you go to Capture's menu 'Tools > Design Rules check'

In 'Design Rules check' dialog under 'Physical Rules' Tab, there is one check box 'Report Identical Part References' which can be used here to check duplicate refdes in your design.
