User-Defined Component Library for SOPC Builder

[Altera_Forum]

Is it possible to create one, so it can automatically appear on new SOPC projects? Or do I have to "create component" for all SOPC system instances?

Yes, you can do this. In fact, I strongly advocate it! All you have to do is create a directory, like so: 

 <whatever...>/components  , place all your custom components inside this directory, and change your $SOPC_BUILDER_PATH to point to this directory. I would even suggest making this directory network accessible, to everyone working on your project....so that you all can be working from the same pool of "custom" components, as well.  - slacker

I had changed the path in SOPC Builder Setup to point at the collection, but it didn&#39;t seem to work. 

 What did work, however, was to copy the subdirectories containing the PTFs etc from the collection to the project directory - after restarting SOPC builder they all appeared.  It&#39;s not ideal, but it will do.
