Hi, I'd like to ask you a question about a problem with folder location while using Xschem. For example, when I replaced folder "SKY130_ANALOG_BLOCKS"(that someone already made) in my personal folder(/home/ethan/PICO) and I open one of testbench files, there is a missing symbol (picture #1). But when I just open a schematic file that consists of basic devices, I can check that they are visible(picture #2). I assumed that the reason is about reference location. e.g) basic devices are referred from environment parameters like XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH and so on. but symbols that designers made have different reference location on each computer. So in the situation that I want to use downloaded design or see how it is designed, should I just re-insert symbols matched? Thank you :)

@Junbeom Park I’ve seen designs that have absolute paths for symbol references. You can select one of the missing symbols and type
q
to see the reference. If it’s an absolute path, you can can change it to relative. The
*.sch
files are text, so you can use a text editor to do global changes.
