Keep Your Schematic Consistent in OrCAD X Capture CIS

Making schematic readability faster and syncing the mismatched fonts, colors, or reference styles on the same part type.

This quick tip shows how to standardize display attributes (font, color, visibility) for parts across the entire design in OrCAD X Capture CIS

Example: You’ve placed multiple capacitors, but:

• Some references look bold, others don’t
• Values appear in different colors or fonts

You want all capacitors to look identical, across all pages.

Steps to Standardize Display Attributes

• Right‑click a capacitor (e.g., C1) that already looks the way you want.
• Select Find Similar from the context menu.

• In Find Properties, locate Part Reference and Value Right‑click each property → Copy to Replace. In Replace Properties, set Part Reference, Value etc.

Click Replace to apply the display attributes of the reference capacitor to all matching capacitors in the design.
