Placing Notes/Markers on PCB Layout

yrrapt

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to place a note or marker in OrCad PCB Designer, similar to adding a sticky note on a PDF in Adobe Reader?

When doing PCB reviews it would be incredibly useful to be able to place a note on a point in the layout which could easily be found later when discussing potential problems.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Tom

    yeah it's possible tom. Try to add the notes in the manufacturing layer. Try this steps. Add----> text. Then Options panel ----->Class------> Manufacturing. After that change Subclass-----> Details. This will be useful for seeing notes some later day's before when discussion is needed. Similar to place sticky note PDF Reader.
