The CIP Client is a separate installation that adds features for OrCAD Capture CIS or System Capture users when the corresponding plugin is installed. Client plugins for all supported SPB versions are included in the download. For SPB 23.1, the System Capture client plugin is included.
The CIP Client enables a user to open CIP from OrCAD or System Capture and use all the standard features of CIP as well as preview/place symbols, preview footprints, compare symbols to footprints, create/import reuse modules and import BOMs directly into CIP. Any differences in functionality between OrCAD Capture and System Capture are identified in sections where they occur.
Users who also have Library Builder installed on their system, can launch Library Builder from CIP to build symbols and footprints.
