Patrick,
The 'secret way' works fine and is a better solution.
Thanks,
Ed

Yes there is a secret way, which I think one or more of the responses
described. When you are in the Orcad symbol, pull down options/part
properties. Then pick "New". In name boxe, type NC. Then in value box,
type the pins you want hard no-connect, delineated by commas. i.e.
3,7,23. If you have large numbers of them, you can make the string in
excel, output ascii, then paste it into the value box.

Thank you all for your help. Yes, I was just hoping that there was a
secret way to hide NC pins on the Orcad symbol in the same way that power
pins can be hidden. From what I can tell there is no straight forward way
to do this unless I missed something.

Ray,
If you just want to get rid of the no connect square box and no connect
"X" - add the no connect "X" to your zero length pin and change the
graphic prefs for the no connect to non print and color white (or same
color as your background)

Here's an example. You only need to add the NC property on one item of a
multi part.
There's not much error checking in Orcad, but allegro will barf if there
is not agreement between the package pin count and the
netlist.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Making NCs invisible in Orcad?
Hello All,
I do not want no-connect pins to be visible in my Orcad schematics.
Currently, my best solution is to use zero-length lines for pins like NC1,
NC2, NC3, etc. On ICs it's not so bad because its
nice sometimes to be able to verify that a pin is in fact a no connect.
But, having a "you haven't connected a pin" square show up on my diode
symbol is driving me nuts. The schematic symbol looks
like a 2-terminal diode, but the footprint is an sot-23. I want the damn
NC pin to go away on the schematic! Any help on this?
Thanks, Ray
