ORCAD CIS Database

jatins

Hi

I have recently upgraded my OrCAD release from 16.6 to 17.2. In 16.6 release, i have been using CIS feature and placing the parts from our .mdb database. I was just wondering if i have to do the same for this 17.2 release because i didnt find any database for our components in the CIS Explorer in 17.2

Is there is a feature in 17.2 release which can be used to share the same CIS database as for 16.6? 

Thanks

    Yes, you will need to setup a new ODBC datasource and configuration file for 17.2 because CIS is now 64-bit and won't be able to use the existing 32-bit datasource. You will need to get the 64-bit ODBC drivers for Microsoft datasources and use those to configure a 64-bit ODBC connection to your database before creating another DBC file to use it.
