Steps to PCB design using Orcad.
1. Design circuit using schematic entry package (Capture).
2. Generate netlist for PCB package.
3. Import netlist into PCB package.
4. Place components, route signals.
5. Generate machining (Gerber) files for PCB plant. The above mentioned are the basic steps involved in designing an PCB......
I Really wonder why you are asking such an basic question............
This is the reason why netlist is created
