Creating symbol with hundreds of pins (OrCAD v16.3)

shangwu

I'm trying to create an FPGA symbol with 484 pins.  

It is done by Parts per Pkg: 484

Put a single pin and it replicated 484 times automatically.

View --> Package

Edit --> Properties and it brings up a spreadsheet format.

I tried to copy the pin# and names from an Excel (or Text file), but not able to paste anything to the OrCAD spreadsheet, although I can manually type in the pin# and names.

Seems that OrCAD does not recognize the clipboard memory in Windows.

 

Any clue on this?

Thanks.

    Try creating a new symbol from spreadsheet (RMB the library name) then enter all the details (copy and paste works from Excel)

     I found that instead of Ctrl+V, using Shift+Ins pastes the clipboard to OrCAD spreadsheet.

  • redwire

    CTRL-INS = COPY IN DOS, THEN IN WINDOWS

    SHIFT-INS = PASTE IN DOS, THEN IN WINDOWS

     

    Can you imagine how old some of the OrCAD software is?  ctrl-ins, shift-ins *always* work in Orcad.  Ctrl-c, ctrl-v don't always work :)
