Lines are non-connected things that you show on the schematic, like borders, titleblocks,stack up notes, etc. You can just draw them on the schematic, but if you want to save them in a library then the get saved as lines. You access them with 'Add 2D Line from Library'.
Do you mean a template sheet that is opened when PADS Logic starts up? Here is an old note that I have that I believe is still valid.
Logic – Startup File definition
To set the file that opens automatically when Logic is started, you need to export it <File><Export> (select all) and save it as the default file:
C:\Programs\9.1PADS\SDD_HOME\Settings\default.asc
Instructions:
- Set up what you want for a template design
- <File><Export>(select *.asc) and save it to:
<SDD_HOME>\Settings\default.asc
- < File><Export>(select *.txt) and save it to:
<SDD_HOME>\Settings\default.txt
(I don't recall why I had to save both the ASC and TXT files; it may require only one. Let me know what you figure out)
I believe the only way to add off page symbols is by editing $OSR_SYMS. You create a special symobl for $OSR_SYMS just like you create any other symbol in the SCH Decal editor.
