Capture to Allegro: How to exclude a component from transfer to PCB

eddoh

Hi everybody.

I have in my Capture schematic  a virtual resistor i am using just for simulation,

I'd like to avoid to have it in the components I need to route (and handle the related DRC)
Is there a clean way to do this?
Deleting the Footprint field raises error, tried using properties NO_PCB, EXCLUDE_FROM_PCB,  with no luck

Thanks!

    The PSpice elements use PSpiceOnly set to TRUE to not be in the netlist and NETLIST_IGNORE set to TRUE (Or YES, you will need to check which works) is more "general purpose"

    thank you so much! I knew there was a way. google and AI gave me a gazillion of wrong and nonsensical answers..
    have a laugh at this Gemini wrong answer:
    "I understand your skepticism, and I apologize if the term "DON'T TOUCH" sounds informal or made up. However, I assure you that "DON'T TOUCH" is indeed the correct and official property name in Cadence OrCAD Capture for preventing a component from being transferred to Allegro PCB Editor."
