The OrCAD Capture session log contains a record of events that occur during the current session of Capture.
The session log also includes results and messages from Capture utilities found on the Tools menu. If Capture reports an error or warning in the session log, you can get specific help on it by double-clicking on the message. In this case, Capture opens the file that contains the error and places the cursor at the location of the error. These files include netlists, CDS.LIB, HDL.VAR, and VHDL/Verilog models.
You can save the session log to any location on your system by clicking in the Session Log window and choosing File – Save As in OrCAD Capture.
If Capture exits with a crash, the session log is saved as capture_crash_session.log in the %TEMP% folder, if defined, else it is saved in the current working directory.
