OrCAD will create many files during the process of schematic entry and layout. To keep track of all these files can be a very annoying thing. So try to create a folder or subdirectory for each design you make. Putting everything in a common folder is not recommended.
Starting Capture...1…2…3
Be sure that you have installed OrCAD in your machine. Start the program by Clicking Startà Programsà OrCAD Release à Capture CIS.
Next create a new project by clicking on Fileà Newà Project. A dialog box appears as shown below:
A project workspace appears in a new window and is similar to one shown below:
The OrCAD project workspace consists of following sections:
Workspace: This is where you draw the schematics using various tools that are available. The area of workspace can be varied according to your needs. But if the project becomes a larger one, one should go for a multi-page schematic rather than going for a large workspace. This makes the project files look neat and well arranged. You can connect various components on different pages.
Toolbox: This is a bar at the right end of the workspace. This toolbar consists of shortcuts to various tools which you can use to create a schematic such as place component, interconnecting wires and bus etc.
Title Block: This is a box placed at the right bottom of the workspace. It is generally used to represent information about the design such as design name, name of designer, date & time etc.
Project Files: This is section which shows the files associated with active project. This section shows the design schematics you created any libraries you link, and some output files. Some menu items become active only if you select this window.
Session Log: Session Log shows a log of various activities you do in the project workspace. If some errors occur at any stage, a description of the error will be shown in this window.
