Step files in Orcad PCB Pro 16.6

PhilipI

Hi,

Im trying to use step files in Orcad 16.6 but the option doesnt seem to be anywhere. The videos I have watched show enabling the option in "User Preferences > Unsupported" but there is no option to enable it. The step folder path is not listed under paths either. The menu option to open up the step files also isnt avaliable.

Can anyone tell me know where I can find the option to enable this or how to use it?

 Thanks

    To get the STEP options you need to get the hotfix S006 from Cadence \ Channel Partner. But if you can get at least S013 this became productized and you don't need this setting. Ideally move to the latest hotfix S020 which will give you all the latest functionality.
