Done and thank you for sharing!

Hello rahnkt ,

To get a certificate from the "Learn OrCAD and Allegro Essentials" course, you need to upload the finished project into the Certificate tab under Lesson 12. (see attachment Screenshot 1)

Then go to the Main Course Page, open the Certificate tab and press the "Request Certificate" button. (see attachment Screenshot 2)

Have a great day,

[rahnkt]

I just finished the course today! Do files or anything need to be sent for verification of completion?

Thank you rahnkt, you are right, in the new allegro it is sub-drawing (File – Export – Sub-Drawing)

[rahnkt]

In mine, sub-drawing is the clipboard. On to final lesson!

[rahnkt]

Lesson 11 about 1 hour 35 minute in, we are copying the MFG Notes from the clip board. I cannot find clipboard. It isn't in my export tab. I attached a photo of my drop down. Any idea where it could be located?

I am still unable to find the finished schematic.

When on the lesson page, lick on Links & Download and scroll down to find "Download the finished project"

[rahnkt]

I found out why the description was not showing up. It was a misspelling.

[rahnkt]

I am still unable to find the finished schematic. I found the pdf version. My cover page doesn't have a title block at the top for this reason.

[rahnkt]

All previous errors I was having are corrected. In lesson 7, ,about 35 minutes in, we are creating the BOM. I created the BOM using the 2 lines from by copying and pasting them into the window. My description field was blank. Is this because I have set to not display? Any other setting makes the description visible in the schematic. I also was unable to create the library BOM. ORCAD error 1735 - unable to create report.

[rahnkt]

I always go full screen and didn't see the files and download tabs. Thanks!

When I tried changing the height value to zero, I get an error saying it must be greater than 1.

You will need to do it in footprint.

What worked for me was: Setup -> Areas -> Package Height and set MAX to 0. But there may be also other options, this may help: https://community.cadence.com/cadenc...for-footprints

Please, what files do you mean (what video and minute)? All the files are located under the video in TAB Links & Downloads.

[rahnkt]

Also the course files that you refer to when doing the BOM, I can not locate those. Were they to be downloaded ?

[rahnkt]

When I tried changing the height value to zero, I get an error saying it must be greater than 1. I attached a screen shot of the error.

It defaults to whatever the drill size for both width and height.

[robertferanec]

You need to set the height in the footprint to 0. I think, by default there is a number.
