Placing a .JPG image into OrCAD Capture 17.2 - what restrictions?

TBurns66

I created a block diagram of my design in Microsoft Visio. This diagram is an 11" x 17" B-size page.  I am trying to place a JPG image of that block diagram into a page of my schematic but there seems to be some restriction that I cannot find.  

At first I thought it was a file size limit of 100KB, but found that not to be the case.  Then I tried creating the JPG with various percentages of quality, from 100% down to 45%, seemingly with no effect.  I've tried various pixel dimensions, from 120 X 120 pixels down to 90 x 90 pixels per inch, and find that I can usually import files with lower pixel resolution, though it takes most of 60 seconds to do so.

So where is it documented what kind of JPG files OrCAD can actually import?  This is kind of important to what my company is asking of me.

For that matter, I've also tried various .TIFF and .PNG file settings when saving my block diagram from Visio and have similar results (i.e. no results... the files won't import)

    You can put a BMP file into OrCAD's page. JPG is not supported

    This is normally down to the Page size, Make the Page size large so it can physically load the picture. I can certainly place a jpeg in 17.2 so also make sure you are running the latest hotfix from support.cadence.com or Download Manager
