Save As Form

Use this form to save both the cds.lib and the lib.defs files at the same time. Save As updates both files so they contain the same library path information. Save As removes duplicate entries and adds a date stamp to the ASCII version of both files.

Field Description

Files to Save

Specifies the file to save.To save both files, ensure the checks appear next to both the file names. To save just one of the two files, deselect the check next to the file you do not want to save. The file you want to save should have a check next to its name.

Default

Displays the cds.lib or lib.defs in the directory from which the library path editor was started. To open a file from another directory, click Browse.

Browse

Opens a file from another directory. You can access one of the following forms:

  • Select cds.lib File To Open
  • Select lib.defs File To Open

Format Conversion Options

To save just one of the two files, deselect the check next to the file you do not want to save. The file you want to save should have a check next to its name.

File Content

This option is available when you are saving only one file.

Minimize

Creates a cds.lib or lib.defs file from the merging of the two files, taking only the necessary data from both files. Duplicate library paths are removed if the two files contain the same path information, and a date stamp is added for reference. Select this option if you intend to use both files.

Maximize for Solo Use

Creates a cds.lib or lib.defs file from the union of the two files but takes all the information from the files and is therefore potentially larger. The extra data is usually comments. Select this option if you want to use only the selected file, not both files.

Solo Content Options

Enables editing option for the saved file.

Insert Extra Comments

Adds extra comments to the saved file. This option is used with the Maximize for Solo Use option.
