Title block: Library name. why it has to be a directory path and what does mean this directory as I already have my project directory?

Firmus5

Hello,
I have created my project and I saved it on Desktop:C:\Users\tar00\Desktop\Cadence\Work- then following this tutorial ends me in finding out that I have found another directory in the Library name  which is:C:\Users\tar00\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\17.4.0.

add to that I have the directory where cadence saves the library which is:C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4\tools\capture\library

I am bit confused which directory I must be using now and what each one is used for?

    Design Template settings is used for controlling the settings of the projects globally. The settings made in this window will reflect in all the subsequent projects that you create.

    The Library name in this snapshot means - The source library FROM where the Titleblock symbol will be picked up to be placed in the bottom right corner of all the subsequent projects.

    C:\Users\tar00\Desktop\Cadence\Work - Working directory

    C:\Users\tar00\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\17.4.0 : Cadence tool Home path

    C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4\tools\capture\library : cadence default library path.

    If you have a custom title block created then provide that specific library path in the Design template else you can use the default title blocks available within the software.
