So what's the problem here? The capacitor looks like it's lying down on the board with the holes off to the side. Mount the legs inside the holes with the body touching the surface of the PCB - or do you need a vertical version of the step model.

Hi Steve, than ks i follow your Information regarding the Support!.

I can not map the Capacitor within the Step Maping Dialog.

We have already try to reduce the step with a external tool "Freecad" but in General i can not map this capacitor. i send you a Screen shoot from a solidworks easm. thats explain the Situation.

Thanks

I don't think the orientation of your footprint can match the step model you have, try rotating it by 180 and then see if that helps. I've attached a zip file with your dra file plus a couple of screenshots - although I did this in 17.2 so you will need to repeat the settings for your 16.6 version.

Nothing - There is an overlay button that you need to press but this could also be related to an older version of the software, what exact version are you running from Help - About. The latest for 16.6 is S105 so if you don't have that get it from http://support.cadence.com
