Seems I've dug myself a hole. I'm wanting to add a new object to an existing technology.
Reading about the library manager inspired me to make use of it. I have a library called "equipment" that has nothing loaded by default. I use the library manager to load the objects I need for this project. This part works well. I get to look through a text list that is sorted alphabetically. My new object (solus8) is similar to an existing object (solus16), so I loaded solus16 from technology "gear_dsp" into library "equipment", copied the object to a page, used ">" to push, selected all the pieces, pushed "c" to copy, "<" to pop, then pasted the copy on the page. After making the changes, I selected the bunch, pressed "m" to make an object, choose "equipment" as the library and "gear_dsp" as the technology. Been doing this process for years. *smiles* Now - to _save_ it so solus8 is available in the future. First I did as I have done in the past. "Edit>Save Technology". But when I use the popup and pick "gear_dsp", the filename either blank or jibberish and when I write it, it puts it in my current directory - NOT the directory containing the original technology file. I tried copy/paste the entire path and filename into the dialog box - but that overwrote the technology rather than appending - so I lost all the objects already in it! After recovering the technology, I re-edited the solus16 to make solus8 - but this time used "file>write-all". This didn't loose all my existing objects - but it also didn't add the new one. So what am I missing? How should I be going about making new objects and saving them to existing technology files? -- Philip _______________________________________________ Xcircuit-dev mailing list Xcircuit-dev@opencircuitdesign.com http://www.opencircuitdesign.com/mailman/listinfo/xcircuit-dev
