    Hsieh,

    I don't know if I would call it a recommendation, but very few people use a separate file per EGL part which I think is a reasonable way to work.    While it might be easier to manage from a conflict viewpoint, it also means the system is going to spend a lot of time processing .egl files. 

    This does not mean that you should have huge .egl files.

    I would like to hear from others as well.

    Mark

    For libaries we use 1 egl file per part.

    Records are grouped according to function.

    In Rich UI we also use 1 EGL file per part.

    Hi Bram / Mark,

    Thanks for reply.

    My fear is that many egl file let the IDE slow to search these common parts.  Maybe, I don't know ???õ

    Otherwise, the management of common parts in each egl file is easier.

    Regards,

    You may have to try for your situation.

    Anything that is generatable (libraries, RUIHandlers, programs, data tables, etc) are required to be one per file.
