Extract Library from Design Cache

Hi All,

Is there a way to extract the library symbols from the design cache in OrCAD Capture? I tried to modify a part but it looks like it will not let me because it cannot find a corresponding library entry. I inherited a design file that does not have any library files.

I just discovered that I was in error when I could not edit a part without the library. Apparently there was an issue with the bounding box: Invalid rectangle. Redraw from top-left to bottom-right. I still would like to know how to extract a library if one does not exist from the design cache if possible.

You can copy / paste items from the Design Cache into a Library using Edit Copy / Paste, or control+C / V. In current releases, an arbitrary selection of Parts and Symbols from the Design Cache is supported, in past releases, only a selection of Parts, or Symbols, (rather than a "mix") from the Design Cache was supported for pasting.
