Working With Symbol Libraries 137
Automatically Opening Libraries at Startup
Libraries can be opened automatically when the program starts by any of these
methods:
 Placing the library (or a shortcut to it) in the Libs folder inside the
LogicWorks program folder.
 Placing a command in the LogicWorks initialization file (dw.ini) to
specifically open the library using the LIBRARY or LIBRARYFOLDER
setup file keywords. See “Specifying Libraries to Open at Startup” on
page 249 for more information on this.
NOTE: By default, when LogicWorks is installed, a folder called Libs is created
containing the initial libraries. This default folder is itself specified using the
LIBRARYFOLDER keyword in the INI file and can be changed if desired.
Manually Closing a Library
To close any open library file, either:
 Slide down the File menu to the Libraries sub-menu. In this sub-menu,
select the Close Lib command,
or,
 Right-click anywhere in the Parts palette. In the pop-up menu that appears,
select the Close Lib command.
In either case, a list of the open library files will appear. You can use the
and keys to select multiple files to be closed in one operation and then
press the Close Lib button. Alternatively, you can simply double-click on the
name of a single library.
NOTE: Any information required for symbols used in any open designs will be
automatically retained in memory. Once you have used a symbol in a design, all
information required has been copied into the design’s data. No further access to the
library itself is required.
Copying Symbols from One Library to Another
To copy one or more symbols from one library to another, follow these steps:
