What areas of OrCAD Capture would users like to see improved?

dfernseb

OrCAD Capture is a powerful schematic capture solution used by many commercial and educational institutions. Its longevity and functional flexibility has made it a staple to PCB, Packaging, and FPGA design flows. As we continue to enhance the core product based on our strategic initiatives I'd like to get feedback from the users of where you feel we could provide the most value to accelerate your productivity. Is it in technology areas like library development, data management, simulation, etc... or in modernization of presentation, usability, and ecosystem?

I look forward to the dialog! Slight smile

  • Engineers tend to capture designs on a D-size sheet so they won't have to tangle with off-sheet connectors.

    I get it.  Get the design captured, then structure the schematic for flow and readability.

    It would really help if there was a special method to make an identical copy of a sheet so I can subdivide the page (delete stuff) without designators changing.

    This behavior drives me nuts. Our mechanical designers use C and D size by default, but the largest printer we have is 11x17. Good luck reading those dimensions...

    In ECAD land we stick to B (default) and A. Almost every reasonable subcircuit fits on 1 B-size page.
