Refresh Capture.ini without restarting Capture?

aricbeaver
aricbeaver over 6 years ago

I have this in my CDS_SITE Capture.ini

[Part Library Directories]
Dir0=C:\Cadence\Library\Logic

This will load all the OLB libraries within Dir0 when Capture opens. Is it possible to reload it if a library changed or was updated without restarting Capture? The library exists on disk, just Capture was not configured on startup. If you try to place the part using CIS you will get this error:

If you browse to the "my_lib.olb" library and select it everything works fine. But it would be nice to refresh all libraries at once.

Thanks for any advice!
