Project File Manager

The project file manager is the docked window that initially appears on the left of the SuperSpice main frame window.

Double-click on a file label to place the component symbol or the the component symbol currently attached to that model file onto the schematic.

The manager supports browsing of the models and symbols and various schematic files and hierarchy. Double click on the file displayed in the tree, and symbols with models attached will be placed on the schematic. Not all of the models will be initially attached to symbols, so dialog windows will pop up to guide you. If SuperSpice can determine what the symbol is from the model, it will do so. If you use the auto dialogs to attach things up the file_name.lib, model/subcck file will be updated, as:

.models will have an extra entry to the model line. e.g.

.model model_name type(key=value

+ _SS_Symbol_FileName=[C:\SuperSpiceGeneric.ssm]

+_SS_Symbol_Name=[Digital Invertor] )

So, the symbol file name and symbol name is added in the [].

.subckts will have an extra comment entry, thus:

.subckt model_name 1 2 3 4

* _SS_Symbol [C:\Default\SuperSpiceGeneric.ssm] [Digital Invertor]

…

.ends

Note, model attachment:

Open up the symbol library, select that symbol and change the symbol type radio button setting to model, subckt or schematic, as required.

Save of Changes

Changes will all be saved automatically when the program exits. However it won't if you have that text library file open as well.

File Tab update

Force an update of the listed schematic files to get everything in sync. i.e. to get all hierarchical schematics listed. Use the View menu or the toolbar button to do this.
