Can not place ORCAD sch symbol

xiaoyi594

Hi there,

we are using Cadence16.6, ORCAD  CAPTURE CIS. It works fine until yesterday. All of a sudden, I can not place sch symbols from CIS Exploer. It indicated the selected symbol as RED color and pop window tells that "can not found part information for xxx" as below.

then I compare my configration with my colleagues' , everything is almost the same, except one difference that: When launched in ORCAD, the information in Session Log Window is different. Their's log text contains specific path address“INI File Location:E:\CadenceLib\SPB_DATA\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture/16.6.0/Capture.ini”， but mine did not (just as the picture shows).

I doubt that my Cadence does not found the INI file under correct path. However, I checked my Environment Variables, my user Variables contains HOME, whose value is "E:\CadenceLib\SPB_DATA", and it is correct. our ini file is stored here. I also check CDSROOT, it's correct too. After copy a new variable "PATH", value" %CDSROOT%\openaccess\bin\win32\opt;%CDSROOT%\tools\capture;%CDSROOT%\tools\pspice;%CDSROOT%\tools\specctra\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\fet\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\libutil\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\pcb\bin;"  still not help.

Could someone save me on this? Nearly MAD.....

Thanks!

    I found out the reason!!!!!

    Everything is correct except that my ini file is READ ONLY.  For some UNKOWN reaosn, Cadence need this file to be writable. After I maunually change this ini file property to writable, things go back to normal as before.

    As a shared ini file of our whole company, of course I need it to be READONLY in case of someone upload one local version. So how could I resolve this conflict? Thanks!
