Managing collections and libraries

When you create symbols, you can store them in library files that are grouped into collections. You can store symbols in a local library, so that they are only available in the current drawing, or you can export symbols to a network library that can be shared between drawings.

The Symbol manager docker always displays libraries and collections that are in your local Symbols folder. You can add collections and libraries to your Symbols folder from elsewhere on the network. When you insert a local or external symbol into a drawing, a copy of the symbol definition is added to the document, but it remains linked to the source symbol.
