Allegro 3D Canvas: How to save list of unplaced components?

Manfred1

The feature Allegro 3D Canvas works quite well in Orcad PCB Designer 17.4.

As usual, my design contains some parts (components), that are not placed. They should be left out in the 3D-output, too. These parts can easily be deselected in menu Symbols. The question is: Can this list of unplaced parts be saved for the next time? I have not found out how to achieve that yet.

What would be even better: Can I import / generate this list of RefDes using the information in the schematic respectively the layout? In my schematic all unplaced parts have a field ASSY OPTION filled with DNP, meaning do not place. Is there a better, more standardized way to do this?

Kind regards, Manfred
