Placing schematic symbols in OrCAD Capture issue

Micheal schenk
Micheal schenk over 5 years ago

I have OrCAD Capture 17.4 p001

In the latest release of 17.4, in capture when a schematic symbol is placed it takes a longer time to get placed (nearly 10-15sec).

Is it an issue with the software. Is there any solution.

I have renamed capture.ini, cleared temp files, deleted capture workspace yet the issue is the same.

    This is what I've observed:

    With the CIS license option, based on the search path in the Capture.INI file, library OLB files are only accessed at Capture launch. 

    If you had a path pointing to a down file server in your Capture.INI file, you would see a problem when you start Capture (remote server is not responding, so it times out after 15 seconds.)

    How responsive is Capture while browsing CIS database parts?  That would help verify your ODBC connection for 17.4. 

    17.4 is 64 bit, I don't think you can even see the 32-bit ODBC config that worked with 16.6 and 17.2
