The dbc file extension is associated with OrCAD Capture CIS, the component information system in OrCAD PCB Designer from Cadence Design Systems. OrCAD PCB Designer is used to create printed circuit board designs.
A .dbc file contains configuration for an OrCAD Capture CIS database, such as the settings needed to connect OrCAD to the component database. It is an application-specific configuration file, not a general-purpose database file.
OrCAD PCB Designer and OrCAD Capture CIS are available for Microsoft Windows. The file is intended to be used by the OrCAD software rather than handled as a standalone document.
Open the .dbc file through the OrCAD Capture CIS database configuration features in OrCAD PCB Designer on Microsoft Windows. It is normally loaded by the software rather than opened directly.
A text editor may display the file's contents, but manually editing it can prevent OrCAD from using the configured database correctly.
A .dbc file is not normally converted to another format. It contains OrCAD Capture CIS configuration rather than user data intended for exchange.
To use the settings in another OrCAD environment, configure the CIS database in OrCAD Capture CIS or recreate the configuration there instead of using a file converter.
