Hi

I am trying to setup my database(.mdb) file using the Configuratiuon Wizard in OrCAD CIS 16.6 

aFTER completing the Setup wizard the CIS Explorer is showing the Data Source Name and Parts are displayed in the Parts Window but when i click on the parts, i do not get any Symbol Drawing and cannot transfer them to my design either.

Is t0here something to do with the path?

    You need to tell OrCAD CIS where the Schematic Symbols and PCB Footprints are. Take a look at:- orcad.co.uk/.../Making_Footprints_Visible_in_Capture.pdf page 2
