Cannot Place part manually in Orcad 16.6 Pcb editor

Deep7086

{NEW TO ORCAD]

I can netlist (with the usual renaming warnings) and open the netlist in Orcad PCB. I get a (correct) list of parts when I go to Place/Manually - but there's no Quickview preview and I can't place anything. I can check the parts but then when I hit ok Its just blank. There should be an error message to hint what's wrong - but I don't know where to look (netrev.lst is "clean" with no error/oversight/warning detected). Very, very frustrating!

After netlist i can see a new.brd file but its just waste. I cant place anything. Plz i need to get done with a project within 2 weeks and this thing is just eating me.

Any Instant help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Deep.

    Have you ticked "Library" in the Advanced Settings tab?

    Yes I did still I am not able to place manually. The command window says placing R13/resistor on top when the select the resistor to  place manually, but I don't see anything.
