Orcad Capture - Hierarchical block

daniel83
daniel83 over 12 years ago

Hi, in a project I have to create a hierarchical block; this block points to another project. I am able to create the block but when I try to descend in the block, Orcad Capture open only a page (the last I don't know) of schematic.

Is it possible open the whole project (I mean the page where are shown the schematics) or is there a way do navigate in the whole children schematic? 

Thanks.

    To choose the page to descend, set the following option-

    1) Menu Accessories->Cadence TCL Utilities->Utilities

    2) Choose Extended Preferences

    3) Select "Schematic" Group in the left pane

    4) Set the Schematic Descend Option to "Ask" 

     

    Alternatively, from the Capture TCL command window, write the following TCL command

    SetOptionString DescendSchPage ASK
