A Parallel Systems Technical NoteOrCAD PCB Editor menu comparisonOrCAD PCB Editor Menu comparisonCadence introduced a new “easy to use” menu in the 16.6-2015 (Hotfix S051) release. This new menu structuremakes the menus much more intuitive and easy to find commands. This app note has a comparison table so userscan reference the new and old menus.Menu Item - New OrCAD Pro Menus V16.6 2015 (S051)Add - Arc 3ptAdd - Arc w/ RadiusAdd - CircleAdd - FrectangleAdd - GroupsAdd - LineAdd - RectangleAdd - Split PlaneAdd - Split Plane Parameters.Add - TextAdd - Unsupported Prototypes - ArcAnalyze - Model Assigment.Analyze - Model Browser.Analyze - Model Dump/RefreshAnalyze - PreferencesCheck - Constraints.Check - Database Check.Check - Design Status.Check - DRC UpdateCheck - DRC View All.Check - DRC WindowCheck - Elements.Check - MeasureCheck - Properties.Check - Waive DRCs - BlankCheck - Waive DRCs - RestoreCheck - Waive DRCs - Restore AllCheck - Waive DRCs - ShowCheck - Waive DRCs - WaiveDisplay - 3D ViewDisplay - Assign ColorsDisplay - Blank Rats - AllDisplay - Blank Rats - ComponentsDisplay - Blank Rats - NetsDisplay - Blank Rats - Of SelectionDisplay - Dehighlight 2015 Parallel Systems LimitedMenu Item - Legacy OrCAD Pro Menus V16.6 S050Add - 3pt ArcAdd - Arc w/RadiusAdd - CircleAdd - FrectangleEdit - GroupsAdd - LineAdd - RectangleEdit - Split Plane - CreateEdit - Split Plane - Parameters.Add - TextAdd - Unsupported Prototypes - ArcAnalyze - Model Assigment.Analyze - Model Browser.Tools - Analysis - Model Dump/Refresh.Analyze - PreferencesDisplay - ConstraintTools - Database Check.Display - Status.Tools - Update DRCTools - Window DRCDisplay - ElementDisplay - MeasureDisplay - Property.Display - Waive DRCs - BlankDisplay - Waive DRCs - RestoreDisplay - Waive DRCs - Restore AllDisplay - Waive DRCs - ShowDisplay - Waive DRCs - WaiveView - 3D ViewDisplay - Assign ColorDisplay - Blank Rats - AllDisplay - Blank Rats - ComponentsDisplay - Blank Rats - NetsDisplay - Blank Rats - Of SelectionDisplay - DehighlightPage 1of 8
