I have installed OrCAD PCB Designer Lite 16.6 (incl. PSpice A/D Lite) on my PC with Windows 7 and my symbol library have some files included and some missing:
/tools/capture/library folder:
- Amplifier.olb included
- Breakout.olb missing!
- Connector.olb included
- Discrete.olb included
- Transistor.olb included
- Eval.olb missing!
- Evalp.olb missing!
- Filter.olb included
- OPAmp.olb included
- Regulator.olb included
The same goes for my PSpice model library:
/tools/pspice/library folder:
- Amplifier.lib missing!
- Breakout.lib included
- Connector.lib missing!
- Discrete.lib missing!
- Transistor.lib missing!
- Eval.lib included
- Evalp.lib included
- Filter.lib missing!
- OPAmp.lib missing!
- Regulator.lib missing!
The list shows some of the more important files, but there are several other strange misalignments of files between the two libraries!
Perhaps some symbol files are named differently than the PSpice model files or otherwise my lite installation somehow is not complete or was corrupted during the installation?!
In any case, it would be a big help, if somebody can provide me with any help with these files!
Also, how do I link the symbols to the PSpice models in OrCAD Lite 16.6?
Best regards,

There are two sets of symbol libraries shipped with Capture+PSpice. One set (present at ../tools/capture/library level) is meant for PCB flow. They have just symbols and does not have any associated simulation models. The simulation symbol libraries are present in ../tools/capture/library/pspice folder. You shall be able to find corresponding simulation models in ../tools/pspice/library folder.
To Link a symbol with PSpice model - after placing a symbol in schematic - select Associate PSpice Model with that instance in capture and follow the instruction. You need the latest version of software for this (17.2).
I think this is a fantastic article, and I really appreciate you letting me know about it foodle nyt. That is precisely what I had hoped to find, and I really hope that you will keep sharing content that is of such high quality in the years to come.
