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
Model keep-out & keep-in areas as in CircuitWorks Options - SOLIDWORKS Import). |
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. |
