Editing Packages Libraries
- Select Tools > Edit Libraries > Packages. The Edit Libraries dialog box appears.
- Select the library file from the Libraries
scrolling window. Use
the buttons below to manage selected library objects:
- Edit Package – Edit properties or attributes
for a selected model in the Package
Editor. The resulting package may have the same name as
the original, but it is saved to the current project, rather than back
to the library. In effect, you have “checked out” the part to the project
in order to edit it. If you want to write it back to the library, overwriting
the original part, click Export to Library.
Use the Show Project Definitions check box to include current project elements in the Edit Libraries dialog box.
Some packages—such as those whose headers have been encoded—are not editable.
- Add Package – Create a new object within the selected library. The Add Package dialog box lets you name the package and choose the package type.
- Clone Package(s) – Create a copy of selected objects with a different name within the selected library. Encoded packages cannot be cloned.
- Remove Package(s) – Remove selected objects from the library. System library packages cannot be removed.
- Export to Library – Export a selected object to a different library. Use also to export edited objects from the project to the library if necessary. System library packages cannot be exported.
- Edit Package – Edit properties or attributes
for a selected model in the Package
Editor. The resulting package may have the same name as
the original, but it is saved to the current project, rather than back
to the library. In effect, you have “checked out” the part to the project
in order to edit it. If you want to write it back to the library, overwriting
the original part, click Export to Library.
- When finished, click OK to close the Edit Libraries dialog box.
