Favorites

The favorite menu is a typical favorite option that provides links to designs, which are frequently needed. For a better searchability these links can be renamed and given an individual icon. The radio button selection at the bottom of the dialog indicates, where changes to the design made with PCB-Investigator are saved. There are two options:

  1. To the originally imported file:
    The link to the originally imported file (ZIP, IPC, GenCAD) is stored. When opening this favorite, the design is extracted/converted again => Changes done in PCB-Investigator will be lost when reopening this favorite due to the new extraction/conversion process of the original input file.
  2. To the temporary file:
    No matter, which data was originally imported, the link to the (temporary extracted/converted) ODB++ directory is stored for this favorite => Changes done in PCB-Investigator are still available when reopening this favorite.
