Hi All,
I'm new and trying to migrate from Msim Pspice over to LTspice. My big problem is with part libraries and directory search paths.
I do electro-mechanical-acoustic (thermal?) lumped element models using spice, and have many schematics I've made for parts (e.g. combustion model, speaker, alternator, nonlinear springs etc.). These get added to designs of larger systems.
In Pspice I could put my models into a directory and tell the program where to look for those parts. This is convenient, since my system-level projects were in many different project directories, and it would be absurd to copy all my part schematic files (about 50 parts) into each project directory. It seems that is not possible in LTspice, and I'd have to dump all my parts into the "sub" directory of the LT install tree?
So, my question is - are there plans to allow LTspice to address schematics stored in directories other than the current one or the LT install tree?
Thanks!

p.s. I want the parts to remain as schematics, rather
than being just stored as netlists in a lib, because
they need to be graphically presented and tweaked regularly.
Hello Andy,
If you don't need that everybody can run your designs out
of the box, you could use an absolute path for your includes.
.lib C:\mymodels\speaker\speaker1.lib
I admit that this is not a really good solution.
You could send an email to Mike with your wish. His email
address is given in the Help -> About of the LTspice program.
Best regards,
Helmut
