<Variant Name> being appended to schematics upon PDF export

jmh299

Hello,

Recently got CIS and EDM working, I am working on a project with  multiple variants.  I want the Variant to be placed in my title block.  Thus I added <Variant Name> to a section within it.  Unfortunately, it appears upon PDF export OrCAD is automatically adding a <Variant Name> randomly near my title block and thus it over takes the intentional one.  Is there any option to turn this off?

    Check your titleblock0 symbol.  There is usually a property named <VARIANT NAME> above the box. 

    Someone may have hidden this on you.  I think you want display set to visible but only if there is data.

    You should be able to change that property in your capsym.olb file located in the Cadence installation directory. 

    Check your project cache to see where the titleblock0 symbol is pulled from (if its your company library.)

    You can turn off the display of additional Variant Name property which you have added. Double click on Title block, select the property and click on Display button in property editor. Select 'Do Not Display'. Save it. Now try to export PDF once again with new name and see if it has gone away or not.

    Hope it helps.
