Editing Model Libraries

Select Tools > Edit Libraries > Models. The Edit Libraries dialog box appears.
Select the library file from the Libraries scrolling window. Use the buttons described below to manage selected library objects:

Edit Model – Edits properties or attributes for a selected model in the corresponding model editor: the C-Model Editor, the VHDL Model Editor, the SPICE Model Editor, or the SML Model Editor. The resulting model may have the same name as the original, but it is saved to the current project, rather than back to the library. In effect, you have “checked out” the part to the project in order to edit it. If you want to write it back to the library, overwriting the original part, click Export to Library.

Use the Show Project Definitions check box to include current project elements in the Edit Libraries dialog box.

Some models—such as those that have been encoded—are not editable. You can edit encrypted models after you enter the password.

Add Model – Creates a new model object within the selected library. The Add Model dialog box lets you name the model, and to choose the model type.
Clone Model(s) – Creates a copy of selected objects with a different name within the selected library. Encoded models cannot be cloned.
Remove Model(s) – Removes selected objects from the library. System library models cannot be removed.
Export to Library – Exports a selected object to a different library. Use also to export edited objects from the project to the library if necessary. System library models cannot be exported.

Note:
When exporting SPICE models containing references to external files, the Message Manager pane displays an alert if the referenced files cannot be located, prompting you to copy the files into the personallib or userlib directory.
