Allegro Modules

Paul Fitzgeral
Paul Fitzgeral over 9 years ago

I am using a module in my 16.5 Allegro design which was created from another .brd file. The module name in Allegro is derived from Orcad CIS and contains the .dsn name along with the specified module name inside of Orcad. For example, the .dsn file name is 987654-001-1.dsn and the schematic module name is "memory". When I import this module into Allegro, the name is "987654-001-1_memory". For the next revision of the design (.brd and .dsn), we want to change the .dsn file name to 987654-001-2.dsn and therfore, the module name becomes 987654-001-2_memory. The problem is Allegro only knows the original module name and not the new one. My question is how do I update a module in Allegro with a new name without deleting it and re-placing?
