Directories


The Directories dialog is used to define the directory paths in which to search for files.

The Design directory is the basic working directory, which holds the boards and schematics.

The Libraries, Scripts, ULPs and CAM Jobs paths may contain several directories (separated by ":") in which to look for library, script, ULP or CAM Processor Job files. When entering an OPEN, USE, SCRIPT or RUN command, these paths will be searched left-to-right to locate the file.

Show

The Show check boxes control whether or not files found in the respective directory or path will be displayed as icons in the Control Panel.

Include

Setting Include to All means that all of the files found in the Libraries, Scripts, ULPs and CAM Jobs paths will be displayed (if Show is checked for that particular path). Setting it to First means that only files found in the first directory of a path will be displayed. The idea behind this is that the first directory in the paths usually is the working directory (i.e. the same as in the Design field), and the rest are not going to be edited and therefore need not be displayed in the Control Panel.

Sort

The icons displayed in the Control Panel can be sorted either by Name or by Type.
