  • If footprints that are not connected to any symbols are imported, they are not added to any structure and are listed in the Electronic Component Editor dialog box as individual entities.
  • Inclusion of STEP files in the imported structure depends on the OrCAD Preference settings. For more details, see 3DEXPERIENCE Preferences.
