Current folder scheme |
Select the folder scheme that defines the locations for CircuitWorks data. Select Default to use the default scheme, or select a user-defined scheme. Use different schemes to store data for different projects in separate locations. To create a folder scheme:
-
Click
.
- In the New Scheme Name dialog box, type a name and click OK.
- To specify folders for the new scheme, type a path or click in each of the location fields.
To delete a scheme, select the scheme, then click and click Yes on the confirmation box. You cannot delete Default.

Database |
The location of the Component Library central database (a SQLite file called ecadlib.db). If there is more than one seat of CircuitWorks on a network, it is recommended that you change both Components and Database paths to a shared location such as a network drive that is available to all users. When one user builds a model in CircuitWorks, any components created and added to the library are immediately available to all other CircuitWorks users. The Boards and Outlines locations are less important because you typically rebuild these models each time you build an assembly.
When using SOLIDWORKS PDM, set Database to a shared location outside the vault and Components to a local vault view folder.
|
Components |
The location where CircuitWorks saves component models. To have CircuitWorks get the latest component files from an SOLIDWORKS PDM vault, enable the SOLIDWORKS PDM integration (see CircuitWorks Options - Library options) and set Components to a local vault view folder. This path must be the same for each user.
|
Boards |
The location where CircuitWorks saves board models. |
Outlines |
The location where CircuitWorks saves any additional SOLIDWORKS parts (keep-outs, keep-ins, and other outlines created by the build process) when CircuitWorks is configured to build these items as components rather than board features (see the
Model keep-out & keep-in areas as
CircuitWorks SOLIDWORKS Import option). |
Decals |
The location where CircuitWorks saves decals when you build a SOLIDWORKS model and select Use trace decals instead of geometry. |
Filters |
The location where CircuitWorks saves filters you export. |
Assembly Models |
The location where CircuitWorks saves SOLIDWORKS assemblies. |
