OrCAD cannot locate the padstack/flash symbol when netlisting the design?

You must copy and paste all the zip extracted file into the symbol folder of OrCAD.
follow this path and paste the all. C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\share\pcb\pcb_lib\symbols

thanks for the response.

however, our library is located on our server not the C: drive. So i tried to do what you suggested on our server symbol folder and it still doesn't work with CIS.

in fact i tried to do it again this morning and the part causes orcad capture to immediately crash when i go to place this part from CIS onto the capture canvas. so now it doesn't work at all for me...

any other ideas?

thanks for going through my suggestion

I am using cack version of Orcad 17.2

if you are using the same, I will suggest you install it carefully.
you have skipped 1 step, In which there is a process of establishing the library file and the server.

Hello James!

Thanks for sharing your question with our forum! It looks like the part you are trying to use (TSW-102-07-G-S) does not have the padstack files inside the zip file. Can you please try to generate the padstack first?

Please follow these steps to get the padstack:

1. Open the .DRA file in Allegro
2. Go to File>Export>Libraries...
3. Select "shape and flash symbols" and "Padstacks"
4. Click on Export

After following these steps, you will see the .pad in the library folder.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Thanks Elizabeth,

Your suggestion worked for me.

I was having the same problem. Thank you very much, Elizabeth! Those steps worked perfectly.
