Unable to place component using ICA

Clamb
Clamb over 9 years ago

Hello,

After setting a local database, I would like to be able to add component from the Internet Component Database (ICA).

First issue, when I click the ICA tab, an empry pop-up opens, there is no error code or message, just the following pop-up:

After clicking OK and the Go/ICA Home Page, I'm able to search for a part as expected until I chose one:

I can't see any Schematic Image  and I get a WARNING(ORCIS-6085) when trying to place the part:

Can anyone explain me how to solve those issues ?

Thanks in advance,

    If you are still running 16.5, that is no longer a supported version.

    The ICA capability is at end of life, so access to it may be variable.

    You don't have a library named discrete configured through Place>Part, Add Library or [Part Library Directories] section in the Capture.ini file, that contains a graphical symbol named R.

    Ok, thank you. Too bad it don't work anymore, it seemed like a good feature. Is there anything close to replace it or am I stuck with updating manually the local database ?

    If you have a "new" part that is like an existing part, you can "derive" a database part to get running and fill in the database details down the line. For a "new, new" part, you would need to edit the database to add the details. If you have any form of enterprise manufacturing system, it is usually possible to get data from it to seed the database, then the Schematic Part ad PCB Footprint properties need to be added to make it useful for designs.
