LIBRARY

Library Types are categories which are assigned to Library Items. A Library Type is defined by its name as well as a flag which determines whether or not the Library Item is to be displayed in the Drawings pane.

The Library Toolbar

The Library toolbar button allows the user to add, edit and delete Library Types.

  • Library ‣ Add

    The Library ‣ Add menu item allows you to add a new Library item type.

  • Library ‣ Edit

    The Library ‣ Edit menu item allows you to edit the properties of the currently selected Library Type (not the Library Item properties or the document itself).

  • Library ‣ Delete

    Deletes the currently selected Library Type.

    Note

    If there are library items which have been assigned the library type that you are attempting to delete, then you will be unable to delete the Library Type until all Library Items have been reassigned.
