Hello there,

Unfortunately, we don't support Orcad layout.
But there is a way to import the footprint suggested by a user which is to open the .dra file in Orcad PCB editor (Lite) which yielded the footprint in PCB editor. Then you have to export the footprint out of Orcad as a DXF. And selected the following in the pop-up Orcad DXF out settings. Name the file as you wish, set format to Revision 14, set units as you wish, select layer conversion type as ecad_mcad, then select the 1st four configuration boxes. Click on export and you will find the generated footprint in the source folder.
If we find the best way to import this parts into OrCAD Layout, we will let you know immediately!
