I am a newbie in PADS.Was using tutorials to learn(design prep_tutorial.pdf).But i cannot seem to load any library now .I believe this happened after i saved the start up file. But now even if i changed it to default I cannot load the libraries .I have checked the path also .Please help
Hi,
perhaps u can do this...
>>open ur library manager
>>manage lib list
>> add
normally the common library is at c:\Mentor Graphics\2005PADS\SDD_HOME\Libraries
u can also do a search in ur computer
also u can go to h**p://www.pcblibraries.com/
for some free added libraries
I cannot imagine how you lost them. They should be in the drop-down list at the top.
When you get to the library manager, you need to add each library.
Click on Manager Lib. List, then you should see all the available libraries.
If there are none, then you need to add them.
Click Add... and navigate to the actual library file, select it and click Open.
It should then appear in the list. Continue for all the others.
