How to set via library in OrCAD Capture CIS

SOT23
SOT23 10 months ago

Hello,

I am setting physical constraints in the Constraint Manager of OrCAD Capture. After enabling visibility for the "vias"  worksheet, I try to add a via to the physical Csets like I would do in Allegro using the "Edit via list" window.

Vias from my library are displaying in the list, but not all of them, although they are all in the same folder.

How do you set the library for the vias in OrCAD Capture CIS so that you can add them to a physical constraint set ? 

Thank you!

    How have you edited your via list is it from Allegro PCB Editor or from OrCAD Capture? After adding constraints in PCB Editor are you back annotating the changes in OrCAD Capture or you are adding constraints in schematic ?

    I edited the via list with OrCAD Capture. We don't add the constraint in PCB Editor but only in Capture so that we don't have to back annotate from the PCB Editor.
