Question 

Is there a way I can disable the Capture/Capture CIS Start Page?  

Solution

Yes, you are able to disable your Capture Start page. There are different methods for disabling the Capture Start page: one if you are using SPB17.4 ISR09 or greater; and another if you are using SPB16.6 ISR-52, SPB 17.2, or SPB 17.4 ISR7.

If OrCAD Capture is open, you can enable or disable the display of the Start page from the Capture command line. 

 

To disable the Start page from the Command line enter:

SetOptionBool EnableStartPage FALSE

 

To enable the display of the Start page from the Command line enter:

  3. Change the value of EnableStartPage= from True to False.
