Adding copied components from old design

jtw385

Hi everyone,

New OrCAD user here. I am encountering a problem I can't find the answer to for the life of me.

I am creating a new design using components I have available to me from an old design. The schematic sheets are within the same project and the symbols for the new design were simply copy/pasted from the old schematic's sheet.

I changed the reference values for each part in the new schematic, saved and exported the netlist, which I imported into a PCB Editor project. I then went to place the components for the board associated with the new design, but they didn't show up in the list.

In my investigations, I've found that the part manager's part list lacks all of the components in the new sheet, too.

Is there a critical step I missed when copying the parts to the new sheet that I need to correct in order for them to properly show up when I import the netlist in PCB editor?

Thank you!

John
