Thanks Jim,
You are a font of information. I disabled Optimize Wires and Busses, and
now it looks like good ol' Protel again. Hopefully this won't come back to
bite me later with connectivity issues...

Orcad Capture has a schem part field for TOPSIDE or BOTTSIDE
is there a way in 99SE or P2004 to get the netlist to
dump the part on the indicated side of the board ?
No, not automatically.
You could use a part field (99SE) or a parameter (DXP/P2004)
seems like this would be possibly a nice feature to optionally control
from the schematic and be fully automatic
if you didn't like the result you could
still muck about with the parts selectively
Orcad capture also has what i think is a new feature to v. 10:
a big spreadsheet type panel with

Yep. I agree. Users have been suggesting a number of
In the case of this new orcad feature you specifically do it
'outside' of the graphical sch
you point to sheets and it gathers a properties page

I have a connector that could be viewed as a large U when placed on
the board. If I want to place other components within this U shape
(not overlapping the physical connector but within the bounding box)
what choices do I have:
- permanently enjoying the 20+ clearance errors? (not preferred)
-
Design it like all of the components in my publicly available library, where the
silkscreen defines the outer inner edges of where the component surfaces meet the
PCB. Shrink the component-component clearance to 1 mil, or 0 mil. This will allow
you place, for example, some caps resistors
