ActiveParts for CIS (Capture Component Info System) users ActiveParts is FREE for users of with a current Maintenance contract. ActiveParts is a built into OrCAD 'Capture CIS' and does not require additional software installation. Included with ActiveParts is the following:• Over 2 million parts in the ActiveParts CIS database • 1.2 million parts with OrCAD Capture symbols • Parametric data • 25% of parts have mapped OrCAD Layout footprints • Manufacturer Names, Part Numbers, and URLs • New parts added on a continual basis PartLink powered by DigiKey With PartLink (developed by 3rd party vendor EMA of the US), you can download component data from Digi-Key (Farnell's component database) directly into your OrCAD Capture Schematics.

OrCAD 16.20.002 is free to download from our software library. The software lies within Development Tools, more precisely IDE. OrCAD is sometimes distributed under different names, such as 'OrCAD Demo', 'Release OrCAD', 'OrCAD Simulate'. The actual developer of the program is OrCAD.

The part choices you make at the beginning of your product development cycle can make or break the success of your end-product. You want to pick the best components for your application without spending too much time evaluating and building parts. With everything there is to consider in the design and implementation of a PCB, choosing order-able/compliant components and building part models is not where you want to spend the bulk of your time. Accessing pre-built verified libraries is now the easiest step in your design process with Ultra Librarian ®. Search, preview and download component libraries built to IPC and ANSI industry standards in just a matter of minutes. We currently support exports for both Cadence OrCAD and Allegro software suites. Ultra Librarian has teamed up with Cadence to provide users with access to millions of pre-built parts directly inside OrCAD. The Ultra Librarian plug-in for OrCAD provides a unified library solution by automatically linking elements of the part as a single component with multiple views for logical (schematic symbol), physical (PCB footprint), and three-dimensional (3D STEP model).

You can now preview, download and place symbols directly into your schematic and access the associated PCB footprint and 3D Model for PCB layout and rendering purposes.
