name.sdb) to the e-mail. The option «Compress to ZIP Archive» creates a .zip files with the
selected files. You do not need an own ZIP program on your PC because SIMPLORER uses an
internal program to zip files. The .zip file generate by SIMPLORER can be opened with a Win-
Zip 1 application.
Auto-Backup Function (Time Interval)
The backup time interval for saving open model sheets in the Schematic is user-defined and
can also be switched off if desired. After a system errors happens you can decide if you want
to use the backup file, ignore, or delete them. The «Backup» option is in the «System» tab of
the sheet properties dialog (open with SHEET>PROPERTIES).
Updating Model Sheets from Former Versions
Models from former SIMPLORER versions use components that do not support all functions
of SIMPLORER version 6.0. To replace these components with components from new libraries,
you must update the sheet. You can perform updates in the following situations:
• As a file is opened (conversion 4.x into 6.0 or synchronize 5.0 files)
• With the SHEET>SYNCHRONIZE command
• When updating separate components via the «Synchronize» command on an element’s
shortcut menu
All components used in a former sheet must be available in an installed model library of the
new SIMPLORER 6.0 format. You must convert model libraries (for 4.x sheets) or synchronize
them (for 5.0 sheets) before you can update the sheet.
