Orcad 16.6 Tutorial New! -

Creating a design in OrCAD 16.6 involves a standard workflow starting from schematic entry to PCB layout and fabrication file generation. 1. Schematic Capture (OrCAD Capture)

• Select Parts (this groups identical components together).
• Alternative: Select Occurrence if you want every single part listed individually (not recommended for standard BOMs).

Step 3: Creating a New Project

Step 5 – Annotate & DRC

• Tools → Annotate (refdes numbering)
• Tools → Design Rules Check – fix errors

Step 2 – Configure profile

• Name: DC_Sweep
• Analysis type: DC Sweep
• Sweep voltage source from 0 to 5V (step 0.1V)

Routing can be done manually using the Add Connect tool (F3). As you click a pin, the software will highlight the "ratsnest" line showing where that trace needs to go. For 16.6 users, the glossing feature is particularly helpful; it cleans up jagged traces to create professional, 45-degree angles automatically. Manufacturing Output orcad 16.6 tutorial
