PSpice User Guide Creating and editing models October 2019 251 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Changing model library search order Two reasons why you might want to change the search order are to: ■ reduce the search time ■ avoid using the wrong model when there are model names duplicated across libraries. PSpice always uses the first instance. See Handling duplicate model names on page 248 for more information. To change the order of libraries 1. Click the Configuration Files tab in the Simulation Settings dialog box. 2. Click Library in the Category field to display the Library files list. On the Library files list of the Configuration Files tab: a. Select the library name you wish to move. b. Use either the Up Arrow or Down Arrow toolbar button to move the library name to a different place in the list. Note: You can only change the order of libraries that have the same scope. This implies that though you can change the order of profile libraries, local libraries and global libraries, you cannot place a global library before a local library or a local library before a profile library. 3. If you have listed multiple *.LIB commands within a single library (like NOM.LIB), then edit the library using a text editor to change the order. Example: The model libraries DIODES.LIB and EDIODES.LIB (European manufactured diodes) shipped with your PSpice programs have identically named device definitions. If your design uses a device out of one of these libraries, you need to position the model library containing the definition of choice earlier in the list. If your system is configured as originally shipped, this means you need to add the specific library to the list before NOM.LIB.
