Is selection guide still a thing?

I tested out the method from this slide, but I am not seeing any Selection Guide with right click.
Is it still expected to work? I placed built-in NMOS symbol, added standard.mos.XVII.txt in C:\QspiceLib. I did step 2 of the slide, but didn’t see the .libpath "C:\QspiceLib" in the netlist, so I added that manually. I did step 3 with and without absolute path. No matter what I don’t see a Selection Guide. I also created my own myM.qsym in the same directory and the result is the same.

Wow, I thought I had tried both relative and absolute paths in the Library File field. But I tried relative path again and now I see the selction guide.

I will add more details into the guide document to clarify further. In short, for the Selection Guide to work:

  1. In Symbol Properties > Library File, only the library file name without the directory path.
  2. The directory that stores the library file must be added to the Symbol Directory in the Symbols & IP windows. Or you put this file into Qspice installation path, as long as their name not same as Qspice installation files, they will not get delete during Qspice update/reinstall (from my experience)
