Redefine a library from SKILL?

tweeks

I work in CAD support, so I find myself doing this a lot in cds.lib:

UNDEFINE someLib

DEFINE someLib /some/users/workarea/someLib

I was wondering if this can be done from SKILL without actually editing cds.lib.  E.g.,

ddUndefineLib("someLib")

ddCreateLib("someLib" "/some/users/workarea/someLib")

N.B. ddUndefineLib does not exist, and editing lib->readPath doesn't seem like it would work.

  •  I don't think that there is a way because I think everything automatically looks at the cds.lib file. You could append the local cds.lib with the appropriate lines and then refresh the library list. The lib~>readPath is an immutable attribute.

    You could get more elaborate by creating a new file which redefines the library and INCLUDEs the current cds.lib and force the new lib def file using ddSetForceLib. I don't know if the forced file has to be named cds.lib.
