Add Pin command does not pop up options tab

Cristi

Hi all,

Just a new user of Orcad PCB Editor v16.3

As usual I went first through the Users Guide available, trying to lear ow to create PCB footprints.

Everything was fine up to the "add pin" command. 

I correctly create a new drawing, and I want to add a new pin to the footprint, by choosing Layout->Pins

According to the documantation, at this point in time, a new window shoud come up, where I can make various selections. However, no windo pops up in my case, and if I click anywhere on the worksurfae, I get the following mesage in the Command window:

E- (SPMHAP-2): No padstack specified.

 Any ideas what am I doing wring?

 

Thanks,

Cristian

    I am using version 16.0 and I have exactly the same problem. I am following the design example given in "Complete PCB Design Using OrCAD Capture and PCB Editor" book.  Any help or pointers with this problem would be very useful.

     

    Thanks,
