Schematic: Tools/Preferences/OrCAD (TM) Ports. Be careful with this setting, because if you leave it and then load a schematic that you have done without this setting, the connectivity can be damaged. I don't remember enough about this to give a detailed description, but this setting has to do with the length of port symbols. Bottom line, when you import an OrCAD schematic, you may need to examine all the ports to verify that the port symbols correctly connect to their wires. (They might, for example, be overlapping the wire, which you might not be able to see unless you move the port; ports must connect on their hot spot to a wire termination or junction or symbol pin hot spot.) General advice when importing schematics: generate a net list from the original schematic, in Tango or Protel format, if possible. This can then be compared with the net list you get in Protel after import and any differences can be investigated. (There is a net list comparison tool in Schematic under Reports.)
