I guess that, since you don't have a load of other missing parts reported, you must have an 'SDT.CFG' local to the SCHs being converted? It might be possible that you don't actually have that (G) part BUT you are getting a message that an OLB cannot be found so I expect that there is 'something' in the graphical libraries that is not appreciated, like 'missing vectors' for the parts.
$begingroup$I have what should end up being a schematic file from a merchant, its suffix is.sch. I tried starting it with Eagle CAD but it wouldn't open. I after that appeared at the file with a text manager and presently there appear to become some recommendations to Orcad.
Does anyone understand if.sch files are Orcad data files, and if therefore where to obtain a free viewer system from?

$begingroup$Orcad, Safeguards and Protel all utilized.sch at one point and there can be no regular intended with the document kind. Orcad now utilizes.DSN. Verify with the vendor. Most commercial products provide a free of charge readers (aka viewer) or a free Lite edition that restricts alteration but not the open up, so customers can look at files.
Orcad can make a free of charge viewer. As a sidebar I furthermore like ViewMate for Gerber looking at:
