How to create a new library?

Table 1. How to create a new library?


1 Selection of the catalog area of the Part Library application.
2 Click on the button “create a new library” (Shortcut Ctrl+C).
Note: The new library will be stored in the user’s library.
3 Clicking on the button “Create a new library” opens a dedicated dialog box.
3a A library is defined by a name (New library).
Note: A default new name is proposed. One must choose a name that is not already used in the Part Library.
3b A comment can be added if needed (it will be the tooltip of the created library).
3c Select the type of part to be considered.
3d Select the folder in which you want to store the new library (D:\CatalogFolder)
3e Set the author of this new library.
3f A reminder allows you to keep important notes to know what was considered in the new library.
Note: Once created, the library “MyLibrary” corresponds to a folder where the name is “MyLibrary” in which are stored the parts. The library folder “MyLibrary” is stored in a parent folder, Library Slot, for example. Here is the corresponding path: D:\Library_Slot\MyLibrary.
Note: The “Parts” are stored in the library folder (folder "Parts").

All the data corresponding to a part, like the associated Excel file (see Part Factory section), are stored in a specific folder. There are also the “Attachments” (folder "Attachments") joined to the part by the user.
