Hello , I am very new to using Capture for anything but basic college simulations 20 years ago, using the Analog and Capsym libraries. My employer recently decided to try Orcad Capture for a year to see if it is worth the $$. We took the $3k Orcad training and the $3k Layout training and I am almost as lost as when we started. Using the Training material, I cannot go back through and reproduce what is outlined in the course. In this case, creating a simple homogeneous part package for a Vishay SFH6916 Quad Optocoupler . Creating the single part is simple, and when the tutorial says , Choose View-Package command to see all the sections in the package, this works, because I see a 2x2 grid of the identical parts in the package with parts 2, 3 and 4 having no pin numbers. The tutorial then says: select Edit -> Properties from the menu to display a spreadsheet of all the pins in the package. There is no choice for Edit Properties when in View -> Package. I tried closing everything, then just opening the library and then editing the Part, thinking that I would then be in Part Editor, but with no success. I tried selecting section 2 of the part, but I wasn't given an option to edit, This shouldn't be so difficult, I am working from a Capture Textbook for version 17.2 and I have 17.2 installed. Why are the two not coordinated. A more relevant question is, how can I look at the Package Properties Spreadsheet so I can edit the pin numbers?
