User-Defined Symbol Libraries
You can create global and local symbol libraries, and add
them to the default directory or to another directory of
your choice. Once created, you can perform all the same
actions as listed in Default Library Directory
on page 3-43.
Note When adding a symbol library to the library search list, placement
in the list is important. If more than one library contains the same
symbol name, Schematics uses only the first one it encounters.
If you add local library names to the library search list,
Schematics places them before global library names,
because they are searched first. You can control their
placement within a group of local library names, but you
cannot integrate them into the global names.
