Ultra Librarian® functionality enables users with appropriate permissions to download symbols and/or footprints and update corresponding part information. With the use of the CIP client, symbols and footprints may be downloaded when a TMP part created or can be added to existing parts.
Ultra Librarian can be configured to download symbols and footprints to a common configured location or individually as each user downloads from Ultra Librarian. Defining a common location enables easy access to symbols and footprints to everyone after download. Individual download locations provide a layer of control to prevent duplicate symbols and footprints from being added to the common corporate library. When no common directory has been configured, each user will be presented with a dialog to select download locations each time a user performs a model export or TMP part creation with Ultra Librarian option selected.
The Ultra Librarian Model Download is enabled by default and may be disabled using configuration options in the Admin > Configuration > Other.
Note: When configured to work with System Capture plugin and Ultra Librarian is enabled, common directory must be also be configured.

6.Configure options for the handling of models that have the same name. Symbols are generally named with the Manufacturer Part Number. When a part is downloaded from 2 different manufacturers, the symbol name may be the same. When multiple users download models that have the same part number or downloaded footprint, padstack or step files name are the same. The configured rule will be applied to both OrCAD Symbol names as well as footprint, padstack and step file naming.
a.Skip - Schematic symbol names, footprint, pad or step filenames found in the configured location will be preserved.
b.Overwrite - Schematic symbol names, footprint, pad or step filenames found in the configured location will be overwritten with the same name.
c.Append Number - Schematic symbol names, footprint, pad or step filenames found in the configured location will be saved to a new name with _1, _2, etc appended.
