You will need to define different "pack types" for the different packages (jedec types) you want to use. If you haven't already, I would recommend either taking training, or at least run thru the tutorial that should be in the install of the Cadence software. That will explain exactly what you are looking for.

I mean there are lots of packages DIP, wide SOIC narrow SOIC e.t.c. I want to define all the jedec types (corresponding to the created cell ) inside the part developer and select one jedec type in my design. I saw one jedec type and alt symbols as footprints Is it limited to two footprints ? If not how can we handle. Thanks in advance. With my best regards. Ahmet OZSOY
