You should be able to go into the capture.ini file and added the following 
somewhere in there:

This is an Example:
        [Allegro Footprints]
        Dir0=G:\apps\allegro_library\TSC\Allegro_Footprints\SMT\IC
        Dir1=G:\apps\allegro_library\TSC\Allegro_Footprints\SMT\Discrete
        Dir2=G:\apps\allegro_library\TSC\Allegro_Footprints\SMT\Connector
        Dir3=G:\apps\allegro_library\TSC\Allegro_Footprints\ThruHole\IC
        Dir4=G:\apps\allegro_library\TSC\Allegro_Footprints\ThruHole\Discrete
        Dir5=G:\apps\allegro_library\TSC\Allegro_Footprints\ThruHole\Connector

Each footprint library will have to have its own path but this is how I have 
done for other engineers who forgot to set it up in the installation process 
and it works for us.

If you answer "NO" the first time, i think you should reinstall...

Sorry about that...

Maybe someone here have a better idea?

Does that mean I need to reinstall software?

This feature should be implemented while software installation: durring 
nstallation there is a step where you are asked for a footprint (if any) type 
ou wish to see: orcad layout or allegro.

Group, I use to see the pcb footprints while placing parts. When we upgraded to 
6.0, I've seem to have lost that function. Anyone know where the button is?
Thanks for any input
