To display the
CircuitWorks Options dialog box, do one of the following:
- From CircuitWorks, click the CircuitWorks application menu , then click Options .
- From SolidWorks, click .
Match Components in Library by |
Select how CircuitWorks determines if there is a SolidWorks model for an ECAD component already in the Component Library: Name Only, Name and Number, Number Only, or Name and Height.
|
Library export custom delimiter |
The separator character used when exporting the Component Library to the Custom Delimited Text File file type. See Exporting the Component Library. |
Check Component Library data for errors when opened |
When the Component Library is opened, checks for component references that do not have a corresponding SolidWorks part file on disk and gives you the option to delete or repair them. Unreferenced components are suppressed and marked with this icon .
|
Show component offset information in library |
When checked, displays the X,Y and Z Offsets, Rotation, and Orientation fields for components in the library. This information can be useful for legacy components that do not include automatically generated CircuitWorks-specific coordinate systems. |
Add components to the library when exporting from SolidWorks |
Adds any components from the assembly that are not already included in the Component Library. |
Overwrite any existing 2D models in the Libray with new 3D models |
Specifies what CircuitWorks does when it detects a 3D version of a 2D (zero-height) model in the Library:
-
Always overwrite
- Never overwrite
- Prompt each time
