Library mappings with the GUI

To associate a logical name with a library, you select the

Library > Browse

Libraries

command. This brings up a dialog box that allows you to view, add,

edit, and delete mappings, as shown below:

The

Library

Browser

dialog box includes these options:

•

Show

Choose the mapping and library scope to view from drop-down list.

• Library/Type list

To view the contents of a library

Select the library, then click the

View

button. This brings up the

Library

Contents

(p37) dialog box. From there you can also delete design units from

the library.

To create a new library mapping

Click the

Add

button. This brings up

Create a New Library

(p35) dialog box

that allows you to enter a new logical library name and the pathname to which

it is to be mapped.

It is possible to enter the name of a non-existent directory, but the specified

directory must exist as a Model

Sim

library before you can compile design units

into it. When you complete all your mapping changes and click the

button

in the Library Browser dialog box, Model

Sim

will issue a warning if any

mappings are unresolved.
