Import of Orcad/Allegro Footprints Into Altium Designer

[nsingh]

I'm using Altium Designer 21 and have successfully 1) imported my Orcad schematic (*.DSN file) and 2) imported my PCB file from Orcad PCB Designer/Allegro (*.BRD file) and have 3) done component linking (by reference designator) successfully.

However, when I look at a schematic part in Altium, it says "no footprint found." It still lists the fooprint name originally listed from the DSN file, but apparently no footprints were ever imported or put into a unified library?

I'd have thought the footprints would have been extracted from my *.BRD file.

What am I missing here? Thanks for your insights.
