Orcad Capture - Display multiple Attribuites

Tmills
Tmills over 7 years ago

Hey guys...this is either so easy I am missing the obviousness of it or it is some obtuse Capture'ism that I can't figure it out.

On my Capacitors on my schematic, I would like to be able to see BOTH the Value and the Voltage. I can make this happen easy enough in the schematic, but I would like these Attributes to be a default in my library so that anytime a new capacitor is placed, I see both Attributes.

As far as I can find, at the library creation level, I can't add additional attributes or Basic Attributes.

    Use the "+" in Part Properties to add new properties, select from the list or type the Property name, leave the "value" box empty to get a "placeholder" as Value is displayed, left-click the "tick" to add, then you can left-click on the "crossed out eye" icon to the right of the property to change the visibility, "Name Only", for example
