Part IV: Creating and Using Libraries



  1. In the Save To pane, make sure that you select the correct folder, then fill in a file-
    name and click OK. Figure 18.19 shows the completed PropertyManager interface for
    this function.


Tip
You may notice that there are two library entries in the window. This is because an additional path has been
added in Tools ➪ Options ➪ File Locations ➪ Design Library. n



  1. If the new library feature does not appear in the Design Library, then click in the
    Design Library and press F5. If you do not like the way that it displays, then right-click
    in a blank space inside the lower library window and select one of the other three
    options.

  2. To edit the preview image of the feature, right-click the feature in the Design
    Library window, select Open, reposition or zoom the view, and save it. Click in the
    Design Library and press F5 again.
