Title jumps in schematic titleblock when opened on another computer

jbethune

Hi, 

When using OrCAD Capture, the title is aligned in the titleblock using the <Title> property. Our .DSN and .opj are shared and controlled using version control software. When another user opens the project, some of the titleblock properties jump around the page and are no longer aligned properly in the titleblock, and need to be moved manually.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how to remedy the situation?

Thanks
jeff

    Hi,
    Maybe if I give more details someone might have an idea on how to help. It is very frustrating to have to open the design and spend 20 minutes moving the sheet numbers or other title block properties so that it looks normal, when this was done just the day before...

    Title block is placed and properties are filled out such that they fit into the titleblock adequately. Sometimes after annotation, sheet numbers need to be adjusted so that they look good. Then, after returning to the design, perhaps after someone else has opened it, the title will have shifted to be only half inside the appropriate box in the titleblock, and the sheet numbers might have shifted to be outside the titleblock completely. After manually shifting them back into position, the entire thing happens again.

    I do not know if this is a result of the .opj, the design cache on the individual computers, or what. Any tips out there?

    Nevermind...it looks like the different computers were pointing to different symbol libraries
