Regarding error in changing or replacing components in PCB editor.

VijayKK

Hello all,

I have designed a schematic in Orcad capture cis and i have created its netlist and imported it from PCB editor. I have successfully placed all components. But issue is if i am making some changes in schematic its not reflected in My Board design and and if i regenerate netlist whole of my board design vanishes.So what to do? Please help? How to update the changes of schematic on my board?.

I tried with 

In Orcad CIS Capture

option> Preferences>Miscellaneous>Intertool communication>Enable Intertool communication

In PCB editor

Place>Interactive

but it is giving error : E- (SPMHGE-457): Error see the logfile.

And in logfile i am getting like this

 Algorithm  : IC
 Place within: board
 Map grid points to: library origin
 Place leftovers on bottom: YES
 Allow component overlap: NO
 Soft boundary: NO
 Cluster: NO
 No Rat: NO
 Remove TAG: NO
 Components at rotation of 0 degrees are weighted 50

 Components at rotation of 90 degrees are weighted 0

 Components at rotation of 180 degrees are weighted 0

 Components at rotation of 270 degrees are weighted 0

 Board direction of north is weighted 50

 Board direction of east is weighted 50

 Board direction of south is weighted 50

 Board direction of west is weighted 50

 Component mirroring weight is 50

 Component straightness weight is 50

 Warning: unplaced components are not PLACE TAGGED.

 Error: No Package Keepin was found
ERROR(SPMHGE-458): Error see the message(s) above.

What is this error SPMHGE-458 error?
So i am not able to figure it out what is the issue?
Please help me out its urgent?

    Place>Interactive is related to automatic placement. To get "cross-placement" running, start Place>Manually, hide the form, select a Part in Capture, move the mouse to PCB Editor and the Part will be attached to the cursor.

    In Capture, when you load an updated netlist into PCB Editor, the Input and Output board settings are saved in the Tools>Create Netlist form. IF you have worked on the board, you need to save it and set that board, "where you have got to", as the Input Board in Capture and then create the Netlist, possibly to a new Output Board but having the same setting for Input and Output Board will work. Note that the Output Board will need to be closed from PCB Editor, otherwise the lock file for the board will be active and the netlist won't be loaded as the "lock" won't be overridden.
