Use this section to specify the Model Libraries that are added by default to new projects. See Figure 3.38.
Note
The selected model repositories are added to a project when it is created. Changing the repository settings after a project has been created has no effect on the project.
The paths to the repositories are hard coded into the project_name.sgproj file.
To change the repositories for an existing project, open the file
and edit the path.
On Windows, the direction of the slash characters separating
directories appears to be reversed in the GUI. You can enter slash
characters in either direction but they get displayed as / in
all cases. This does not affect operation.
Use environment variables, such as $(PVLIB_HOME),
to enable the same project file to be used on different workstations.
The dialog has the following controls:
- Add
Click the Add button to open a file selection dialog shown in Figure 3.39 and add a new
sgreporepository file to the list. A repository file contains:a list of components
the path to the LISA source for the component
a list of library objects for the components.
A repository file can also consist of lists of paths to other repository files. This enables a hierarchical repository structure.
Select a directory to add all of the repositories in that directory to the list of repositories searched for components.
- Remove
Select a repository and click Remove to exclude the selected repository from new projects. The repository itself is not affected.
The default repository
$(PVLIB_HOME)/etc/sglib.sgrepocannot be deleted.- Edit
Select a repository and click Edit to edit the path to the selected repository.
The path to the default repository
$(PVLIB_HOME)/etc/sglib.sgrepocannot be edited.- File checkboxes
Check the box to automatically include the repository in all new projects. Uncheck the box to prevent automatically including the repository in new projects, but keep the path to the repository available for later use.
- Up/Down
Use the Up and Down buttons to change the order of repositories. File processing is based on the repository order.
Default Repositories can also contain a set of default configuration settings for one or more configurations. The values of these settings are appended to the corresponding default configuration values for all new projects. This mechanism enables presetting configuration parameters that are required by all projects that use the specified default model library. The following settings are affected:
Additional Include DirectoriesAdditional Compiler SettingsAdditional Linker Settings.
Note
To enable using models from the Fast Model Portfolio in new
projects immediately without being forced to add a default repository,
the default entry $(PVLIB_HOME)/etc/sglib.sgrepo is
present when System Canvas is started. This entry cannot be deleted.
You can however uncheck the box next to the default path if you
do not require the default repository in your new project.
