Use the Preferences dialog box to set the default directory for new workspaces. Whenever you try to Open a GEN file or generate a netlist, SmartGen uses the preferences you set here to generate your file.
Your default netlist output and family type are workspace settings.
To set or modify your General preferences:
From the File menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog box (General tab) appears. To set the default directory for your workspaces, type the pathname, or click the browse button and navigate to your new default directory.
UNIX Only: Specify the location of your PDF reader and web browser.
In At Start Up, you can choose to Load last loaded workspace, Show [an] empty [work] environment, or Show the Welcome to SmartGen dialog box.
To set your IP Catalog preferences:
Click the IP Catalog tab to specify when SmartGen checks for updates. The default is to check each time you open the tool. You can also specify the location of the IP Catalog info on your hard drive. Type the pathname, or click the Browse button and navigate to your new default directory.
The Proxy tab enables you to set your internet proxy settings in SmartGen. This enables SmartGen to use an FTP connection to update some data files. If you use a proxy server, enter the server name in the Proxy field.
