How do I set up a dielectric library?

Dielectric Layers

To create a new dielectric library, global or local, do the following:

1. Select Circuit => Dielectric Layers from the main menu of the project editor.
   The Dielectric Layers dialog box is opened on your display. This dialog box allows you to add, edit and delete dielectric materials for your project.

2. Click on the Library button to edit your dielectric libraries.
   This opens the Dielectric Library dialog box which allows you to create dielectric libraries and to edit them.

3. Select the type of library you wish to create by clicking on the My Library or Global Library radio button in the Dielectric Library dialog box.
   Once a library is selected, a list of dielectric materials in the library should appear in the dialog box.

4. To create a new library, click on the Specify button to the right of the radio button for the library you selected.
   A browse window appears on your display.

5. Use the browse window to specify the location and filename for the new dielectric library file.
   The default name for a new dielectric library is die-library.txt. If you wish to name the library file something else, edit the filename entry.

6. Once the desired location is specified, click on the OK button in the browse window.
   The browse window is closed and a new dielectric library file with no entries is created at the location you just specified. Use the rest of the edit controls in the Dielectric Libraries dialog box to create entries for this dielectric library.
