OrCad Capture to Layout

    Hello,
    I am using OrCAD 10.5 full suite for my school project. I'm fairly new
    to it as well. I got stuck with the following problems:
    1) From what I read, the schematics and pcb footprint aren't exactly
    correlated. I am using Capture CIS. I could not find how to represent
    PCB footprint for OPA655 (SOIC) from TI.
    http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/opa655.html
    In fact, I am not sure what the PCB footprint code for any opamp is. Or
    should I use SOG.050/8/WG.something/L.something. I am not sure what 050
    in SOG represents, because there are different options (i.e. 025 as
    SOG.025), so I do not know which one to use. Also, if I were to use SOG
    and
    http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?literatureNumber=msoi002c&fileType=pdf
    is my opamp, which dimensions am I supposed to match? Chip with the
    pins or chip without the pins? Or somewhere in the middle so it is
    easier to solder.
    2) I am also supposed to use OPA657 (SOIC)
    http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/opa657.html. However, there
    is no electrical model for it in the libraries. So, I downloaded this
    opamp library from TI website. The model looks ugly though with some
    pins in the middle of the chip. I can move the pins around, also it
    still wouldn't look like an opamp after that. Is there a way to make it
    look like opamp, not a rectangle. As far as I understand it wouldn't
    matter for Layout.

    Thanks,
    Vitaliy
