Conversion from OrCAD SDT to Capture V17.2 - Results Unclear

Altazi

Hello  Group,

I have a hierarchical schematic in OrCAD SDT that I have converted to Capture V17.2.  The conversion appears successful, but I cannot seem to generate a correct netlist.

In the SDT schematic, the MODULE VALUE > NAME field contains the footprint name.  In the converted Capture design, the PCB Footprint field shows the correct footprint name.

HOWEVER, when I attempt to create a netilst, I see the following in the netlist file:

    (instance &U54
      (viewRef NetlistView
       (cellRef &7407_ALL
        (libraryRef OrCAD_LIB)))
      (property PartValue (string "74LVC07AD"))
      (property ModuleValue (string "_PCB_Footprint_"))
      (property TimeStampValue (string "2609FE19")))
     (instance &U26
      (viewRef NetlistView
       (cellRef &74HC10_ISO
        (libraryRef OrCAD_LIB)))
      (property PartValue (string "74LVC10"))
      (property ModuleValue (string "_PCB_Footprint_"))
      (property TimeStampValue (string "27C422E8")))
     (instance &U21
      (viewRef NetlistView
       (cellRef &74LVC1G04_ISO
        (libraryRef OrCAD_LIB)))
      (property PartValue (string "74LVC1G04"))
      (property ModuleValue (string "_PCB_Footprint_"))
      (property TimeStampValue (string "2C0F27D0")))
     (instance &U20
      (viewRef NetlistView
       (cellRef &74LVC1G04_ISO
        (libraryRef OrCAD_LIB)))
      (property PartValue (string "74LVC1G04"))
      (property ModuleValue (string "_PCB_Footprint_"))
      (property TimeStampValue (string "27C4AB14"))
      (property Field1Value (string "SOT23_5")))

The actual footprint name is not being put into the netlist, just '_PCB_Footprint_'.  Thinking about having to manually enter all of the correct footprint names is depressing.

Has anyone ever had this problem, and solved it?

Thanks in advance . . .
