Component location can change thereby breaking the "add nmos/pmos/pnp/npn/etc" model selection drop down menu

[jellebakker96]

When you have a second library you should be able to say for each component if it can be added by "add subcircuit" or "add PNP BJT/NPN BJT/NMOS/PMOS/RES/etc" such that the new model becomes available in the drop-down menu of the correct component. Otherwise, that entire sidebar becomes useless.

This functionality will also be needed for when you have for example pmos/nmos devices without bulk port that have their own sub symbol in the future.

What would happen for example to the "PNP BJT" model drop-down list if the desired PNP BJT is not in the default "pmos" category/cell?

Richt, now it seems like you simply show all models that are inside a couple of the default catogories/cells like (diode/pmos/nmos/etc), but that seems really limited to me.

Maybe also add a drop-down field for library selection. Such that you could search for all pmos devices in a specific library. If the library field is blank it would simply show all pmos devices in the library manager.

I have no idea what you mean. Are you talking about #67 ?

[jellebakker96]

No, I am talking about having two or more categories/cells that have pmos devices. For example the categories/cells "pmos" and "Technology pmos". The drop-down menu from the pmos device (see figure) would only show the models in the "pmos" category/cell and not the "Technology pmos" category/cell.

So it's about #57 ? Like, you want /mylib/mypdk/coolmos too only show other coolmos in the dropdown?

[jellebakker96]

Yes

[jellebakker96]

There should be some way to set which models are shown in the model dropdown field.

Ok, I'll close this one and note it under #57
