Custom containers are libraries of schematics and local components that you can share between projects.

While the components and schematics that make up a project are normally local to that project (except for the basic components built into InfineonSpice), you can create custom libraries of such elements that you can reuse between all of your projects.

Custom containers appear in the Model Library view's Custom Components section, from where you can add the items in them to your projects.

You can create custom containers, add items to them, and delete them:

  • Creating a custom container

    To create a custom container, right-click a schematic or local component in the Workspace view and choose New Custom Container From.

    A dialog opens in which you can name the container. When you click OK, the container file is created in the project folder. The item from which you have created the container appears in the Model Library view's Custom Components section in the Custom (for local components) or TestBench (for schematics) section.

  • Adding an item to a custom container.

    To add a schematic or a local component from a project to an existing custom container´, right-click it in the Workspace view and choose Add to Existing Container.

    A dialog opens in which you can choose the container to which to add the item. When you click OK, the item is added to the container and appears in the appropriate subcategory of the Model Library view's Custom Components section.

  • Removing an item from a custom container.

    Once a schematic or local component was added to a container, it is not possible to remove it. As a workaround, you can create a new container with the same items as the current container, except the one that you want to remove. When you have added all desired items to the new container, you can delete the original container.

  • Deleting a custom container.

    To delete a custom container, right-click it in the Model Library view and choose Remove from the context menu.
