back-annotate pcb_footprint info into my library?

Hi, I'm relatively new to OrCAD. I have sent a design out to our layout contractor who uses PADS. He has returned an updated version of the schematic to me which now includes his PCB_FOOTPRINT information. Isn't there some way to back-annotate this information into my existing library? I tried copying a part from the Design Cache back into my library, but the footprint info doesn't seem to be attached to the part in the cache.

Hi Trent,

I have a very helpful Orcad tutorial document in pdf format, if you are interested I can share it to you. Send me an email at dominic_obar@yahoo.com, then I will reply to you with this document in the attachment. It has techniques that facilitate footprint assignment in the schematic. I found it in the internet, I am just thinking that maybe you have not seen it yet.

Regards,
Dominic
