I'm new to this forum but excluding that last 3 years have used Orcad since the DOS days. I started a new job last week and they have Orcad 9.1. Here's my problem I usually made FLAT Schematics with off page connectors. I have done some heirarcy designs in the past and know how they're supposed to work, any way I need to make one now, but everytime I place a heirarcy block and pins and ports I'm unable to descend. I get this Error Message: CAP0017 ------ Unable to Descend part.
I know I’m doing something wrong but can't think of what it is.
