In Orcad Capture, I'm looking for a way to do a search and replace of offpage connector names within a selection. Any ideas?

    There is some tcl available to do this. Save and unzip the attached file to <your_install_dir>\tools\capture\tclscripts\capDB folder. Then launch Capture and open your design. Run a Command Window (View - Toolbar - Coomand Window) and then type:-

    package require capDesignUtil

    Then to replace offpage text in the currently active design::capDesignUtil::replaceOffPageText <pOffPageToSearch> <pOffPageToReplaceWith>e.g.:-          ::capDesignUtil::replaceOffPageText  _3  _4
    capDesignUtil.zip
