How to get drop down options for the value field in Capture CIS

Micheal schenk

I am using OrCAD Capture CIS 17.2 059. I am facing a issue in creating a drop down in access based database of capture CIS.

In the schematic field of access worksheet if it is mentioned as discrete\CAPACITOR NON-POL,discrete\CAP NP,SMALL CAP,analog\C in CIS explorer window I am able to get the drop down to select which schematic part I

want to place in schematics but the same isn't happening for the value field when mentioned as any of the formats 10K,20K or 10K\20K or 10K/20K

The reason why I need this is some cases I may use resistor of value 1K and in some cases 10K. I dont want to create another copy in database just for the change in value.

    You can't really do this because Part Number is a "key" field and "a" part, with "a" Part Number, cannot possibly have two different Values. Look at CIS BOM Variants if you want to have builds with different values for the parts.
