Checkpoints Not Supported PSpice is 64-bit and no longer 32-bit, therefore, checkpoints generated in 16.6, or any subsequent 16.6 HotFix, will not be supported.

Select Configuration Manager from the Build menu or from the solution configuration drop-down in the main toolbar. 2. Select New from the platform drop-down in the Configuration Manager dialog box for the project to be build on 64-bit platform. 3.
