minimized when you open PSpice Schematics. You can

also open Design Manager to view and manage files

without first opening Schematics.

Opening the Design Manager outside of Schematics

1 On the task bar, click the Start button.

2 Point to Programs.

3 Point to the Orcad folder.

4 Click Orcad Design Manager.

Design Manager opens with the Category view in effect.

Hints and Tips

• To get optimal use of Design Manager, place only files

related to one design in one workspace.

• It is beneficial to perform file management functions

within Design Manger, rather than Windows

Explorer. Design Manager can perform operations on

a design file and all of its dependent files

simultaneously.
