Set library parts

Library parts are set using the library manager. If the manager window is not visible on screen, it can be shown by selecting WINDOW > LIBRARY.

The manager window is divided into two parts. The preview (2) of the library parts is displayed in the upper field. The folder structure (3) is shown in the lower area. The folder structure is represented starting from a root directory (4). Additional root directories can be added independently (5).
The Scaling (6) option scales the library part to the relevant scale of the drawing. In most cases, no scaling is required for plan elements graphics (header, north arrow).
If the option "Recently loaded" (7) is enabled, in the preview area (2) the library parts recently loaded will be displayed and the folder structure (3) appears with a grey background.
