Initialisation file sch.iniΒΆ


The initialisation file sch.ini is used to save some schematic/symbols parameters. The file will be stored in the designs directory, if there is a design active.

If the schematic editor has been started as stand alone, the search rules for sch.ini will be as follows. When the last subdirectory name of the full edit path is sch or sym, the schematic editor will use the one level up directory. An example:

Symbols pull path:c:\design\test\sym\testsymbol.sym

The schematic editor is looking for the sch.ini in the c:\design\test directory. This situation is the case when a symbol or schematic from a design will be opened.

When there is no sch or sym directory, or the sch.ini does not exist, the schematic editor tries to find the sch.ini in the same directory as the symbol or sheet.

The following paramaters in the sch.ini are used:
