Adding Part height information in orcad schematic

Hi VG20250603525 ,

To carry Part Height information from the schematic to layout in OrCAD Capture and Allegro, follow these steps:

1. Add HEIGHT property to parts in the schematic:
• Select the part, right-click, and choose Edit Properties.
• Add a new property named HEIGHT and enter the desired value (e.g., 2.5mm).

2. Go to Tools > Create Netlist > Setup.

3. Under Configuration File, click Edit to modify Allegro.cfg file

4. Under the [ComponentDefinitionProps] section of the cfg file, add the following line:

HEIGHT=YES

5. Save the .cfg file and generate the netlist.

This ensures that the HEIGHT property from the schematic is included in the netlist and transferred to Allegro PCB Editor.

Hope it helps.
