Add Library Form

Use this form to add a new or existing library.

Field Description

Library

Specifies the library name and path.

Name

Specifies the library name, whether adding an existing library or adding a new library.

Use Mapped Name

when marked, maps a directory name that appears in the Library list back to the application’s name space. The mapped name is displayed in the Name field. If this option is not selected, the directory name is added the way it is. The directory name must be a valid name for it to be mapped.

For example, a directory name sample#2elib is mapped to sample.lib when this option is selected.

Directory

lets you select the directory that contains the library or the directory into which you want to put the new library (not applicable when using Virtuoso with design management).

Library

Lists directories containing a valid cdsinfo.tag file.

The library added is always the library specified by Name with the path shown at the bottom of the Directory list box.

Design Manager

Specifies the design management setup.

If you are not running the software from a design-managed workarea, the Design Manager field is grayed-out. If you are running the software from a design-managed workarea, the appropriate design management system is listed as a choice.

Use <DesignManagementSystem>

Specifies the design management system to use for the library.

Use No DM

Specifies that the library should not be managed.
