How do you change multiple signal ground to a power ground symbol easily?

Sky Panda

Hi,

I'm new to using OrCAD and have been working on a schematic where I have been using the wrong ground symbol. I was wondering if there's an easy way to change all these signal grounds to a power ground symbol easily without changing it all individually?

Also, is there an easy way to change resistor symbols from the zigzag to rectangles as well?

I'm using Capture CIS 2022 if that helps.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    You can change all the symbols globally by simply performing the below steps:

    1. Go to Project Manager, expand design cache 

    2. Now select the GND symbol from design cache which you want to replace, and do right click> Replace Cache as shown below

    It will replace all the symbol in the design with the new selected symbol, similarly you can do for resister by replacing with the new graphical symbol. 

    Thanks
