Edge Connectors and OrCAD

[garboui]

Working on a project right now that requires the design of some male edge FPC connectors on a flex circuit. Can someone nudge me in the right direction on how to achieve this? How should I handle the board outline, Pads, etc?

In the past with Ultiboard and Eagle I was simply able top create a footprint for the edge connector with a partial board outline, this does not seem the case with OrCAD.

Are you using Orcad layout? If yes then the way to do this is to create a template layout which has the connector and the board outline (fabrication layer). I never found out how to incorporate a board outline (fabrication) in a footprint; my work around is to have the fabrication drawing on a different layer and change it to the fabrication layer once the component has been placed.
