#120 Fixing paths and making PDK easier to install in Qucs-S
Pull request opened by
andresmmera
The aim of this pull request is to facilitate the setup of the PDK in Qucs-S.
I installed the PDK and tested a few things, but it took me a while to get it up and running, so I think the following commits will be useful:
---
`Commit #1`:
Copy sample schematics to Qucs-S home directory
This adds a copy of the sample schematics to the Qucs home directory. By default, that’s where the user has his projects
and I find it very convenient to have the examples there. In order to make these files recognisable by Qucs-S, there must be located inside a folder with a name ending in “_prj”. I have given it the name “IHP-Open-PDK-SG13G2-Examples_prj” as it is something meaningful to the user.

`Commit #2`:
Inform the user to complete the PDK installation on the Qucs-S side
This commit adds information for the user on how to configure Qucs-S to work with the SG13G2 PDK. Qucs-S needs to know
where the libraries are located, so the user should should specify this manually. A new file inside the examples folder has been added with instructions on how to do it.

`Commit #3`:
Refer the library paths to the linux user’s home folder
This modifies the schematics and the libraries to refer them to the user home. Prior to this, the schematics and the library files
included relative jumps. This means that the simulation can't find the symbols and models in the default configuration.

Fix dc_diode_op.sch and dc_hbt_13g2.sch examples
The commit is a fix for two schematics that have problems with the rectangular plot variables
