Library Managment in Allegro V16.5 & Browsing Packaged Symbols.

ScottCad
I was wondering is there a way to segregate out Package Symbols in their own directory by function and have those package symbols show up in the placement menu "segregated out" instead of just a huge list of all of the packaged symbols.For example I have a folders called THPARTS, SMDPARTS,CONNECTORS each of these folders contain packaged symbols but when I check the library check-box in the placement menu and then select the packaged symbols all of the parts show, so it is just a huge jumble of all parts from all of the libraries.

I just want to be able to browse packaged symbols by function, is there a way to do this ? or by the folder name so it is easier to see whats what.

Thanks Guys... Scott

    Or useful crossprobing. It is rediculous to not have a part highlight in Capture when selected in PCB Editor AND dehighlight in Capture when you release it in PCB Editor. You end up with multiple highlighted parts in capture and after a while you can't tell what you are looking at without dehighlighting (don't select delightlight all or you will lose any ratsnest colors you have set............)

    Capture and Layout had a very graceful method of crossprobing that I relied heavily on when placing parts. Sure you can place from Capture, but many times you need to move already placed parts and would like to see where they are in the schematic without lighting the whole sheet up.

    Sorry for the rant, back into my hole, carry on..................
