upgrade projects from Orcad 9.2 to Orcad 16.6

AndreMC

Frankly, I am new to PCB layout and ORCAD as well. I would appreciate it very much if anyone would give me some input on this.

I have PCB layout projects and schematics designed in ORCAD 9.2. Now I started using Orcad 16.6, and I need to update these projects: replace components that are obsolete with new components. Can anyone tell me how to upgrade these projects into an Orcard 16.6 version with the updated components? would it be possible to sync the schematics and the PCB layout projects and have any changes in the schematics reflect on the PCB layout. If so how can I proceed with this?

Thank you very much in advance.

    Thank you Steve for the input. I followed the tutorial you recommended. However, I am not able to synch the PCB editor with the schematics capture. When I try to backannotate the design in Orcad capture I get these errors: #534 ERROR(SPCODD-534): Failed to create any physical parts
    #1 ERROR(ORCAP-36027): Unable to read physical netlist data
