Finding and Replacing all PCB Footprints in an Allegro/OrCAD Schematic (v17.2)

ctocci

Folks,

I am working with a PCB bureau that uses Allegro 17.2.  I was the one that originated the design schematic in Allegro Capture 17.2.  The PCB bureau uses different symbol/PCB Footprint names than I did for the PCB Footprints.  I have the bureau's footprint listing, but rather than go through component-by-component in properties, is there a simple to "Find" and "Replace" all PCB Footprint names in any given schematic so that the bureau and I are synchronized on the PCB Footprints?

    You can export properties using Tools>Export properties command and then open this in Excel or text editor; Do find>replace text strings (PCB Footprint" and import it back in capture.
