Some basic questions

I have some very basic questions, but I have tried to find the answers to these on google and on this forum, and have not been able to. I would appreciate any guidance.

I am a newbie, and there are no other PCB designers in house to ask. I have picked the Capture HDL tool for schematic capture, and want to create components for it, but have not been able to find a way.

I am on linux and start the program with projmgr, but it does not seem to offer component creation tool. I asked for capture and capture CIS when I got the license. I am under the impression from google searches that there is a separate capture CIS tool for this purpose, and also do not see a capture program in my bin directory. Is there a common tool for "orcad" and "allegro" to create components.

Thank you

If you are using DE-HDL then in Project Manager go to Tools - Library Tools - Part Developer. The license you have will give you access to both DE-HDL and Capture (Called Design Entry CIS from the start menu) but there should be a capture.exe in C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\bin folder if it's installed correctly.
