Pcb Designers and Engineers need to be able to view the same database.
So , those Viewers that don't chew up a license, are a great deal.
The regular Viewer is really limited in functionality , thats where Orcad Lite comes in to serve as a Viewer.
Of Course there are a couple of install caveats.
One of them, if you already have a license, it would use that up.
Made a Batch .bat file as a workaround, that way you can have multiple lite open.
Steps:
- download Orcad lite
- create shortcut on Desktop
- download PCBeditorlite_no_license.bat
- put on Desktop
