Managing collections and libraries

Most of the symbols you will use have already been created and are stored in library files that are grouped into collections.

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.

To add a collection or library Back to Top
1.
 
Click Window Symbol manager.
2.
 
In the tree, click Local symbols or Network symbols.
3.
 
Click the Add library button .
4.

By default, library files are referenced from their original location. If you want to copy a library to your User symbols folder (under Application data for your user name), enable the Copy libraries locally check box.
If you are adding a collection, you can enable the Recursive check box to include subfolders.
To delete a collection or library Back to Top
1.
 
In the Symbol manager docker, click a collection or library.
2.

The collection or library is removed from the tree in the Symbol manager docker but files are not deleted.
