Hi,

File -> Open -> Design.

Select File Type .sch in the filter then select your schematics

You need olso the original library(s) to convert correctly the schematics.

Hi,

i think that's the problem. We dont have the original library. And the customer dont have it also. He don't use orcad since some years and he did a backup of the schematic files only.

We must the schematics view and/or print only. Some other hints??

Hi,

If the schematics use the standard library supplied by orcad You need the standard library of the same version of orcad schematics.
If otherwise the schematics use custom library I am sorry but suppose you have no solutions.

I have the ORCAD SDT 386 with a lot of libraries.
You need also the file SDT.CFG, this file sets the path to the old ORCAD SDT libraries in ORCAD 9.2.

If you want i can PM the files to you.

Hi,

thanks a lot for your help. Our customer did find his old version of orcad in an old storage room, and so we was able to open his shematics some weeks ago.
