When i click on any component in PCB Editor, capture invokes automatically

I recently came across an issue in PCB Editor. When both Capture and PCB Editor tools are invoked, if i click on any component in PCB Editor automatically the window is shifted to Capture Canvas indicating that component. What may be the cause of the issue.

I am using OrCAD PCB Designer professional S032

    This feature is called as Cross Probing, when both Capture and PCB Editor are connected in same session you can cross probe between 2 tools using Inter Tool Communication. 

    You can disable this using the below steps in Capture:

    1. Choose Option – Preferences.
    2. In the Preferences dialog box, select the Miscellaneous tab.
    3. Uncheck the Enable Intertool Communication check box.
    4. Click OK.

    Hi mahimag,

    I am aware about the ITC feature in OrCAD as i have been using this feature from quite a long time. My concern is about the automatic window switch from PCB Editor to Capture which i haven't observed till now while using the tool with ITC feature enabled.
