Orcad Capture and Dual Monitors

[Boris Mohar]

Has anybody succeeded to place two different schematics on two monitors.
ver 9.3 will not let me drag one schematic page over to the other screen.

Don't let nvidia nview control the monitors and make two desktops-- just set it up

as one large desktop that spans both screen. You can only run one instance
of Orcad Capture (unlike Layout which lets you run multiple instances
and corrupts everything in both, ha ha). Then just stretch the Capture window
to span both monitors and size one schematic in the left and one in the right.
Capture does let you open multiple projects within that one instance of
the program running. It should not be too hard to turn off the dual head
desktop management in nView or whatever card you are using. I never install
nView so I don't really know how to do it--- but I do have to put up with
dialog boxes always popping up cut in half by the two screens.
