OrCAD X PCB Professional

KR202503114323

Hi All

We are using OrCAD X PCB Professional -23.1-2023 S006 and trying to use hierarchical parts in the design for reuse. However, we could not find the 'Module Instances' option in the place>manually drop-down list. Please let us know if the license supports module reuse features.

Attached image for the reference.


Thanks,

Kishan

    It does but not uisng that method. You have to create and apply the modules a different way. Look at YouTube Parsyseda channel and serach for Place Replicate which will show you the methods with an OrCAD license.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for your response. We have that place replicate option in OrCAD and we are using that in our board. But we could not find the attached option and we wanted to know whether the option "Module Instances" only available on Allegro license? And not on Orcad?

    Thanks,

    Kishan
