Your 17.4 Hot Fix S018 is too old. (This might be one reason). The latest one is S040. Can you migrate to 23.1, where this comes native? I no longer have a 17.4 installed and I am not sure if this feature is coming installed by default or not. I tend to think not. Copilot tells me this (take it with care, might not be true): In OrCAD Capture 17.4 , you can access SamacSys and Ultra Librarian libraries, but they are not natively integrated like in OrCAD X Capture . However, you can still use them by manually downloading and importing components. Steps to Include SamacSys & Ultra Librarian in OrCAD 17.4: Activate Search Providers Open OrCAD Capture 17.4 . Go to Place > Search Providers . Sign in with your Cadence and Ultra Librarian credentials if prompted. Search for Components Select the SamacSys or Ultra Librarian tab. Enter the part number or keyword in the search bar. Choose a component and view its properties. Download & Place Components Click the plus sign to download the schematic symbol, footprint, and 3D model. The part will be attached to your cursor—click to place it in the schematic. Verify PCB Footprint Open the corresponding PCB layout file . If no layout exists, create a new one via PCB > New Layout .
