Chapter 5 Creating parts for models
130
Preparing your models for part
creation
If you already have model definitions and want to create
parts for them, you should organize the definitions into
libraries containing similar device types.
To set up a model library for part creation
1 If all of your models are in one file and you wish to
keep them that way, rename the file to:
• Reflect the kinds of models contained in the file.
• Have the .LIB extension.
2 If each model is in its own file, and you want to
concatenate them into one file, use the DOS copy
command.
Example: You can append a set of files with .MOD
extensions into a single .LIB file using the DOS
command:
copy *.MOD MYLIB.LIB
3 Make sure the model names in your new library do
not conflict with model names in any other model
library.
