Enable Undo/Redo in Part Editor

Bijanbina
Bijanbina over 8 years ago

In Orcad Capture when I edit symbol or part, any change in pins will not trigger history. And Undo/Redo button are disabled.

Is there any option that can enable Undo/Redo in Part Editor?

As an example double clicking on a pin and change it name doesn't enable undo

    Thanks to co-worker for this solution:
    exit Cadence
    find active Cadence.ini file (not template version) for windows in a folder such as: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\SPB_Data\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\17.2.0

    make a backup of it first.
    Open it with a text editor that does not add extra characters
    Under Preferences, ther is a line

    IssueUndoWarning=FALSE

    at the very end of it; change it to =TRUE
    save the file, close it and re-open OrCAD Capture and the problem should be fixed
