Question

cadence orcad cis 数据库放元件时出错

could not read part information如下图：

Answer 1

我也碰到了这个问题，解决了。解决办法，自己的OLB库文件必须放置到X:\Cadence\SPB_16.3\tools\capture\library目录下。

另外一次的解决方法是：删除capture.ini，重启动 orcad cis，让它重建capture.ini。然后重新设置cis配置文件。

Answer 2

OrCAD CIS使用ICA可以在线查找众多厂商的元器件和相关的原理图，这样可以大大较少我们画原理图封装库的时间，例如NXP的LPC2131这些多引脚的封装，画起来是相当的耗时间。有了ICA的服务就相对简单多了，只要在线输入LPC2131就可查找出来它的器件的信息，包括原理图的封装和Datasheet的链接。
ICA功能的使用方法：

首先进入原理图的编辑界面，然后右击鼠标，出现“place database part”，然后会打开一个“CIS
Explorer”窗口，在状态栏下面会有“Local part database”的选项卡，旁边会有“Internet
Components Assistance”的选项卡，选择这个选项卡，就可以切换到ICA的功能了。
如果没有显示这个选项卡，请按照我文章中的方法注册相关的dll文件即可。

但当我在OrCAD中使用ICA的时候，弹出如下提示：“ICA Warning Dialog.Class in orpiica.dll Not Registered Internet Component”.

经过搜索，找到了官方的解答，英文原文如下：

其实关键的问题就是把以下这几个dll文件注册就行了：
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Orcad\CIS\orpiica.dll"
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Orcad\CIS\genlibcom.dll"
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Orcad\CIS\apconctl.dll"
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\DAO\dao350.dll"
只要找到这几个文件，然后右击---“Register dll”就行了。

官方原文：
Error while launching CIS Explorer

PROBLEM:
The following error message appears while launching CIS Explorer in Capture CIS: “ICA Warning Dialog.Class in orpiica.dll Not Registered Internet Component”. Why?

SOLUTION:
This error message appears, if you install the OrCAD 10.3 software on a freshly formatted Windows XP/2000 machine, which does not have a previous installation of any of the OrCAD
products. Also, this is due to improper registration of the following DLLs:
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Orcad\CIS\orpiica.dll"
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Orcad\CIS\genlibcom.dll"
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Orcad\CIS\apconctl.dll"
· "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\DAO\dao350.dll"
The solution is to register these DLLs. To register these DLLs, the steps are:
1. Close Capture CIS.
2. Choose Start > Run to open the Run window.
3. Type cmd to open the command line window.
4. Go to <Install_dir>\tools\capture, where <Install_dir> is the path for the Capture CIS installation directory.//其实这里根本就找不到以上的dll文件，这是官方的失误，开始的时候我都被误导了，呵呵
5. Type the following commands, one at a time in the command line window:
regsvr32 orpiica.dll
regsvr32 genlibcom.dll
regsvr32 apconctl.dll
regsvr32 DAO\dao350.dll
After you register these DLLs, the missing ICA tab appears on the CIS Explorer window and then you can open the Active Parts website.
If you are unable to place parts from Active Parts, provide Write permissions to the installation directory.
