Database setup, no parts shown in Place Database Part "Z"

aricbeaver

Hi,

I have setup a "System DSN" (I've also tried "User DSN") database via windows (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe), which uses my Microsoft Access database file. Then I selected that DSN and generated a .dbc file from the "Options > CIS Configuration" and used that as my configuration file.

However, when I attempt to Place Database Part, I can see all the tables in my database but I cannot see the parts inside the tables. I have also tried using the default "C:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\tools\capture\samples\BENCHACC.DBC" database sample with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    Good call, exactly the problem. I had both the Command Window and Session Log open at the bottom preventing the visibility of the part table. Thanks!
