Footprint not showed

NoSeMeOcurre

 Hello. I'm using orcad 10.3. I made a footprint, but when it is placed in my PCB design it is invisible. There is nothing in the silk screen layer for this footprint. I can see the drill symbols and the solder mask areas. I need the content of the silk screen layer because it has some mounting-hole marks for a heat sink. Any idea about where the problem could be.?

    Your question was not clear .Whether are you using the layout means, try to open the footprint in the library manager, check the text for SST, AST layers are et enabled. In case it it not enabled means, add text for the footprint for the component. Content of the silkscreen layers will ref des & footprint name. Thanks & regards Dhamodharan
