Capture CIS_Show Footprint

engineer123
Can someone explain how I can set the correct paths for my symbol library so that I can view footprints inside capture. I have set the psmpath to the folder where my .psm and .dra files are located in the environment editor. However, when I select my part and choose show footprint I get an error stating allegro footprint not found in search path or something to that nature. However, if I use a symbol from the discrete capture library like a resistor and then select a footprint located in the cadence/..../share/pcb/pcb_lib/symbols folder it works. Are my libraries not set correctly even though I can place parts manually in pcb editor or is their something else I am missing. Thank you

    What exact version are you running from Help - About ? If it says 16.6 PXX then that's the base release and it may be an issue. Get the latest hotfix from Cadence Support / Channel Partner. You could also look at reseting the psmpath and padpath.You have set these incorrectly and "occasionally" I have seen issues with this. When you locate the psmpath and click on ... to get the values delete all entries apart from $psmpath, then click on the expand checkbox and then add your library locations. It's unlikely this will help but might be worth a try...
