You can't delete parts, but you can substitute parts in the Design Cache, which amounts to the same thing. If you would like to get some competent help on Orcad without the full blown support contract, contact a former Orcad Software engineer who has hung out her own shingle and is doing a very good job.

I can not convert schematic back to SDT+386 format because I have duplicate parts in the design cache. I need to know how You can delete parts from the design cache. I went to the ORCAD website and they do not let You in even the FAQ site without valid tech support contract ( which cost a lots of money ). Our one already expired. They provide only 90 days support for free. That is a really nice way to collect some money ?? ( and treat customers to make sure they never ever buy again any ORCAD products ). Thanks anyway, Peter
