Adding libraries to Proteus 8 Professional

 

Sometimes when you are working in a group or in a company you have share the designs and some components you have made on your Proteus but the problem comes when the person you are sending the file to doesn't´t have the component on the computer.

For that reason today I´ll be showing you how to add components and libraries to Proteus.

It is a simple thing to do as you can see in the next video.

 

 

Steps to follow:

1.- Locate the files you want to copy (Libraries).

2.- Copy them the way you want (I find it easier with Ctrl + C).

3.- Look on your computer for:

C:\ProgramData\LabcenterElectronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY

4.- Copy the files to that folder.

5.- Check if all the components and library are in Proteus. (to check that out you have to open Proteus and go to Library on the menu bar, then Library Manager where a window will show up and you can look for the libraries you just added).

    2. Go to system settings in your proteus software.There you can find the location of your library file.Copy that and paste in your search.
      (or)
      Go to local disk C.In view menu at the top of the window check the "hidden items".Program data folder which is hidden will be shown.Then Go to labcenter electronics and you find your library folder there.
