Padstack editor in 17.4 trial version

Joel88

Hi,

I just downloaded the trial version of Orcad 17.4. I'm am watching a tutorial to get started with the soft and I have to use the padstack editor. 

I use Windows 10. When I click "start" > "Cadence", there is only the "Licence Client Configuration Utility" available and nothing else. So I click an enter my host name with the port. But nothing happens, the padstack editor doesn't show up.

Do you know why ?

    Padstack Editor is under the Start menu Cadence PCB Utilities 17.4-2019 not Cadence so give that a try. You could also try typing Padstack Editor in the Type here to search for Windows 10 which should locate the app for you

    I don't have Cadence Utilities 17.4-2019 showing up in the Start menu.

    There is orcad but no padstack editor in it. When I search for padstack editor in the search menu I find nothing.

    Ok looks like the start menus weren't built as part of the installation. You can try using this link

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/j3flbh11aqcjunb/Cadence_PCB_174_StartMenuItems.zip/file

    to download the start menu shortcuts. Once downloaded unzip this to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. The alternative is a full uninstall / reinstall
