How To Find Ltspice Library On Mac
Main library mcallen tx. LTSpice for macOS has finally been updated to LTspice XVII as of October 25th, 2018.I have verified that it has resolved the model update bug, as well as most other noticeable issues that had cropped up in the last release.
- If you are running Microsoft windows then the library files in LTSpice are stored at C:Program FilesLTCLTspiceIVlib The 'lib' folder, (screenshot below) contains 3 sub-folders called sym, lib, and sub. You can bookmark this location for future use. Click Favorites and add a suitable name.
- Hey all, I'm having some trouble with LTSpice on the Mac. I had a project directory with an.asc schematic that referred to a model (also inside that directory). I moved the whole project to a new folder and now LTSpice is complaining about not being able to open the library file (referencing the OLD directory structure before the move).

Optimized Storage in macOS Sierra and later* can save space by storing your content in iCloud and making it available on demand. When storage space is needed, files, photos, movies, email attachments, and other files that you seldom use are stored in iCloud automatically. Each file stays right where you last saved it, and downloads when you open it. Files that you’ve used recently remain on your Mac, along with optimized versions of your photos.
* If you haven't yet upgraded to macOS Sierra or later, learn about other ways to free up storage space.
Find out how much storage is available on your Mac
Choose Apple menu > About This Mac, then click Storage. This is an overview of available storage space on your Mac, as well as the space used by different categories of files:
Click the Manage button to open the Storage Management window, pictured below. (The Manage button is available only in macOS Sierra or later.)
Manage storage on your Mac
The Storage Management window offers recommendations for optimizing your storage. If some recommendations are already turned on, you will see fewer recommendations.
Store in iCloud
Click the Store in iCloud button, then choose from these options:
- Desktop and Documents. Store all files from these two locations in iCloud Drive. When storage space is needed, only the files you recently opened are kept on your Mac, so that you can easily work offline. Files stored only in iCloud show a download icon , which you can double-click to download the original file. Learn more about this feature.
- Photos. Store all original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud Photos. When storage space is needed, only space-saving (optimized) versions of photos are kept on your Mac. To download the original photo or video, just open it.
- Messages. Store all messages and attachments in iCloud. When storage space is needed, only the messages and attachments you recently opened are kept on your Mac. Learn more about Messages in iCloud.
Storing files in iCloud uses the storage space in your iCloud storage plan. If you reach or exceed your iCloud storage limit, you can either buy more iCloud storage or make more iCloud storage available. iCloud storage starts at 50GB for $0.99 (USD) a month, and you can purchase additional storage directly from your Apple device. Learn more about prices in your region.
Optimize Storage
Click the Optimize button, then choose from these options.
- Automatically remove watched movies and TV shows. When storage space is needed, movies or TV shows that you purchased from the iTunes Store and already watched are removed from your Mac. Click the download icon next to a movie or TV show to download it again.
- Download only recent attachments. Mail automatically downloads only the attachments that you recently received. You can manually download any attachments at any time by opening the email or attachment, or saving the attachment to your Mac.
- Don't automatically download attachments. Mail downloads an attachment only when you open the email or attachment, or save the attachment to your Mac.
Optimizing storage for movies, TV shows, and email attachments doesn't require iCloud storage space.
Empty Trash Automatically
Empty Trash Automatically permanently deletes files that have been in the Trash for more than 30 days.
Reduce Clutter
Reduce Clutter helps you to identify large files and files you might no longer need. Click the Review Files button, then choose any of the file categories in the sidebar, such as Applications, Documents, Music Creation, or Trash.
You can delete the files in some categories directly from this window. Other categories show the total storage space used by the files in each app. You can then open the app and decide whether to delete files from within it.

Other ways that macOS helps automatically save space
With macOS Sierra or later, your Mac automatically takes these additional steps to save storage space:
- Detects duplicate downloads in Safari, keeping only the most recent version of the download
- Reminds you to delete used app installers
- Removes old fonts, languages, and dictionaries that aren't being used
- Clears caches, logs, and other unnecessary data when storage space is needed
How to free up storage space manually
Even without using the Optimized Storage features of Sierra or later, you can take other steps to make more storage space available:
- Music, movies, and other media can use a lot of storage space. Learn how to delete music, movies, and TV shows from your device.
- Delete other files that you no longer need by moving them to the Trash, then emptying the Trash. The Downloads folder is good place to look for files that you might no longer need.
- Move files to an external storage device.
- Compress files.
- Delete unneeded email: In the Mail app, choose Mailbox > Erase Junk Mail. If you no longer need the email in your Trash mailbox, choose Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items.

- When you duplicate a file on an APFS-formatted volume, that file doesn't use additional storage space on the volume. Deleting a duplicate file frees up only the space required by any data you might have added to the duplicate. If you no longer need any copies of the file, you can recover all of the storage space by deleting both the duplicate and the original file.

This is a brief colleciton of LTspice files collected from various online sources such as Yahoo groups that are slowly dieing, therefore I uploaded all its contents here so it doesn't get lost in void of internet.

Locating the library directory
In case of Windows installation of LTspice XVII; usually the library directory is located inside of LTspice folder in 'My Documents' directory.After opening the LTspice folder you will have to open 'lib' folder.
This directory represents the library location composed of 'cmp', 'sub' and 'sym' folders.
*'sub' folder represents the location of subcircuit files.
*'sym' folder represents the locaiton of symbol files.
These are the folders in which you will have to transfer the library files you are interested in.
.lib and .sub files are supposed to be copied in 'sub' folder, .asy files are supposed to be copied in 'sym' folder.

Including the library in your simulation
Inclusion of libraries in simulation is done according to the SPICE3 synthax.
When drawing the schematic for the simulation you have to right click on the drawing and then select Draft -> SPICE directive.
Shortcut for this is just pressing the S key on your keyboard.
Under 'How to netlist this text select 'SPICE directive' and write the following:
Following example represents icluding the CMOS Logic 74hct series library
