Saving your Changes

To save newly created symbols or changes to existing

symbols:

1 Click the File Save button on the toolbar.

If the library is not configured for use in the schematic

editor, you will be asked if you want to configure the

library. Answer YES to make the symbols in the library

available for use in PSpice Schematics.

If the library is already configured, any schematics using

symbols you have changed will be updated to use the new

symbol.

Returning to the Schematic Editor

To return to the schematic editor and keep the symbol

editor window open for additional symbol editing, do one

of the following:

• minimize the symbol editor window

• click in the schematic editor window

• select the schematic editor window from the Window

When you are finished with the symbol editor, close the

symbol editor window by clicking the Close button in the

upper-right corner, or select Close from the File menu.

Starting Automatically

If you are going to use the symbol editor more than the

schematic editor, you can have the symbol editor start

automatically when you start PSpice Schematics. Add the

-sym option to the Command Line in the Windows

Program Item Properties dialog box for the PSpice

Schematics icon. For example:

C:\OrCAD\psched.exe -sym
