The Edit Search Path dialogThe Edit Search Path dialog

Summary

This dialog allows you to specify the path when searching for files within the project. The following types of files are supported:

  • *.PcbLib - Footprint libraries
  • *.Mdl - Sim model files
  • *.Ckt - Sim subcircuit files
  • *.PCB3DLib - PCB3D model libraries (legacy only)
 Note that retrieving models can be slow if there are a large number of files in the search path folder. Also, when a large number of files are accessed over a network, system performance may be slowed. 
Paths are searched from the top down.
