Just switched from OrCad ver 16 to Cadence/OrCad ver 17

jwaas

Long time user of OrCad  capture and layout ending with ver 16.2.  Now I have the ver 17.2  Capture and Allegro PCB.  Really not intuitive so could someone point me to the proper user manual to cover copper pour/fill  details.  I translated my layout  .max file and the bottom plane is a combination route and ground plane created with a pour/fill.  After translation I see only the routes  and would like to see everything, which would include the pour.

Does a Tutorial, like that found in ver 16.2, exist?  The 16.2 Tutorial was a very nice reference.

Please do not criticize my verbal use of 'fill', intermixed with 'pour', as I also have to work with PADs and it causes me confusion.

Looking forward to a reply.

Thank you.

    Hi. Rarely, if ever have I used a 'Cadence' tutorial. There are so many online avenues to utilize that might be better. I use https://www.parallel-systems.co.uk/guides/ and on youtube.com look for parsysEDA and subscribe to them. Much more useful information can be found. No ding on Cadence, but it's not a money generator for them (tutorials).
