Managing Library Contents

Select Tools > Edit Libraries to display the contents of selected library files and to copy, modify, and export components or other library objects to user/personal libraries.

Twin Builder libraries include the following types:

Right-click the Project Manager > Definitions folder and select Edit All Libraries to open all libraries for editing.
The Edit Libraries dialog box appears. Choose the tab for the library type you want to edit.
To select an individual library, click Tools > Edit Libraries and choose the library to view.

Alternately you may also right-click any of the Project Manager > Definitions folders and select Edit Library.

After choosing a library, the Edit Libraries dialog box appears with a tab open to the library you selected.

The Edit Libraries dialog box also filters objects available for selection based on a number of object attributes, including:

Name
Property
Model type

In addition, each Edit Libraries dialog box includes check boxes that let you Show Project definitions or override filtering and Show all libraries.

Note:

When you modify a library component, the modified definition transfers to the components available to the current project. In effect, you have “checked out” the component to modify it, and it is now in the project. The original library definition is intact. To update the library definition, you must perform the extra step of exporting the modified component from the project to the library.
