OrCAD export Library to xml and importing again results in different symbols

PatEscher
PatEscher 1 day ago

Hello, 
I am exporting a library.olb to an xml file and import it again afterwards into a new olb.
The results are different. at the minimum, I am losing all the fonts e.g. on the labels.

having a look at the created xml, it seems that this information is not output.

is this a bug in the exporter and importer functionality of XMATIC

    Hi PatEscher ,

    A few quick questions to better understand your setup and narrow this down:

    a) Which Capture version are you using? (Help > About)
    b) Are you observing differences only in font appearance (style/size), or are there other symbol differences as well after XML import?
    c) Does this happen for all parts in the library or only specific symbols?
    d) In your original .OLB, are the fonts for labels explicitly defined, or are they set to default?

    Thanks, this will help pinpoint the issue.
