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.

    Hi Steve! One more question: I run a 3VDC Via from top signal layer to power layer, but I dont see the via connected to the power layer, it looks to me it just goes through. Can you tell me how to make sure the via is connected to the power plane. I am having same issue with vias going to the ground plane. They just look they go through ( contacts with the copper of the power plane, in the case of 3VDC vias, and no contact with ground plane copper for the case of ground vias). Thank you again!
