01 - OrCAD X OnCloud Workspace

A workspace in Capture is an OrCAD X OnCloud-based project storage location that is used to manage all design data, which includes components, design, library, project, and board files. You can manage the files in workspaces from File Manager and components from Component Explorer.

Accessing OnCloud workspace

Click the File Manager icon to launch the File Manager panel, which lists all workspaces and files accessible to you.

The File Manager shows all workspaces which are available to you in OrCAD X Capture. If you are launching Capture for the first time, you will only see My Workspace, which is your own OnCloud workspace.

‌Cloud Workspace Content and Organization

For each user, My Workspace has a few default footprints and a symbol library.

The content of My Workspace is also locally cached on to the user system on disk with a specific file structure which is also seen in the File Manager. To view the locally cached data, simply browse to the location <%HOME%>\cdssetup\workspace.

You can also right-click on any file object and click Show in File Browser to go to the cached data of the My Workspace folder.

Here, the libraries directory has a specific folder structure for all library and CAD files, as shown below.

For projects, you can upload all project data to the projects directory under the workspace folder, which is highlighted above.
