Simulation Profile Setup Issues

donmonheim

Hey I'm pretty new to PSPICE and I've followed every tutorial there is and they all pretty much say you can choose the "none" option to avoid the inherit from issue when there are no .sim files to inherit from. I have Orcad_lite_9_2 and I'm in the"PSPICE AD Lite Edition" and I went to New Simulation Profile and I see the fields for "Profile name" and "Inherit from existing profile" as well as the "Create" "cancel" "help" and even "..."(browse) buttons but I don't see a "none" option anywhere. I've searched for hours and I've got a project I have to get finished.

    9_2 is very old release, I would suggest you moving to latest 16.6 release. You can download this from www.cadence.com

    Coming back to your question: In new simulation profile dialog do you see a drop down list for "Inherit from" field; this list should have a "None" option. You need to select that, put a name for new simulation profile and hit create.
