Hi,
is there a way to have a selection guide on a custom component? e.g… that there is a selection guide when right clicking a custom component which is linked to a .lib file with for example different OPAmp .subckt.
Right now it is only possible to get a different OPAmp by changing the name of that component to that of a different subckt in that .lib file
May be this strategy can help you.
look at:
No unfortunately not. What I am asking here is to have a selection guide not only for components which can be defined with the .model keyword but also for those which have a subcurcuit in them. So that you can have just one .qsym file for a opv for example which is linked to a .lib file which has multiple subcricuits of opvs in it. And if you drag that opv.qsym file in your schematic i would like to be able to select the specific subcircuit i want to use.
I remember that when I tested this in June, .subckt was not supported in the selection guide. However, you can still use one .qsym and one library file to achieve what you need by directly typing the subcircuit name in the 1st attribute of the symbol. The only thing missing is a right-click selection guide.
By the way, third-party op-amps typically consist of multiple subcircuits to support the op-amp. The library may contain many .subckt subcircuits that are not the op-amps themselves. Is there a standard op-amp library that consists of multiple op-amps in it? My impression is that op-amp libraries are normally not merged, but that’s just an impression.
I would love to see this as a feature because it would make it easier to create multiple components of the same type. Which normally consist of a lot of copy and pasting. Like it is right now you have to remember the names of the components to write it in Attribute 1. Regarding components with multiple subcircuits could it be handled by only showing those with the same number of pins like the qsym has ?
