Where are Plot.defs stored for use in other projects?

Thread Summary

The user inquired about retaining plot.defs settings across all LTSPICE projects after restarts. The final answer explained that starting from version 24.0, plot.defs is stored in the User Files directory (typically Documents\LTspice) instead of appdata to prevent overwriting during updates. To maintain a single file for all projects, the user can define the location in LTSPICE settings.

Hello to whom it concerns,

in earlier releases of LTSPICE the content of 'plot.defs' was available, after restarting LTSPICE, in all follow-up simulation projects.

Right now, it seems that any 'plot.def' function is glued to the project where it has been defined.

What is the work around to keep all defined plot.def's in just one overall file for all projects?

best regards

Peter
