Orcad Capture - How to change the colour of multiple text based objects at the same time ?

excellon1

Hi

How do I go about changing the colour of multiple selected items such as "Net Aliases", Notes, RefDez etc in Capture ?. I can only change the colour one entity at a time.

Basically what I was expecting is to Ctrl click each object then right click properties and change the colour. That does not seem to be an option ?

I am running the current version.

Thanks..

  • Select the items you want and right click - Edit Properties. In the Property Editor, select the relevant tab then right click the property name (ie Color) and choose Edit, this allows you to set a color for those object types. Repeat for the other tabs along the bottom). The other method (but this is more global) is to go to Options - Preferences, and set the Colors for the objects there.

    Hi Steve, There is no Right Click "Edit Properties" option when I select multiple items. For example I selected 3 net aliases "Net Names" so they are highlighted using ctrl+click. Choose right click and the edit properties option is greyed out.

    I can change the net alias colour one at a time, I am trying to do more than one at a time.

    Here is a picture

    There is other high strangeness too. When I create symbols that contain lines, I cant select them all at one time and do a global change on the line style. While the lines are selected if I do a right click the edit properties option is also greyed out. Selecting one line at a time it is easy to change the style as it is too with net aliases etc.

    Maybe i'm missing something here ?

    Thanks..

    No, I misunderstood what you wanted. You can't do what you want. You can only use the Options - Preferences to set colors for all net aliases or all refdes. or do them individually

    Thanks for the sanity check Steve. This thing is honestly not credible, hard to believe eh.
