Create a Project-specific Component Library

You can create a project-specific component library by copying a standard component library to the open project.

  1. Select System | Libraries | Libraries. The Component Libraries database view opens.

    You can check for any component libraries already copied to the project from the InProject column:

    • 0 - The component library is not project-specific.
    • 1 - The component library is project-specific.
  2. Select the standard component library (InProject = 0) you wish to copy. Move the cursor over the correct row using the arrow keys (Up arrow or Down arrow).
  3. Click Copy To Project. You will be prompted: "Create a project-specific {LIBRARY NAME} library?"
  4. Select Yes. A database view in which you can edit the selected component library opens.
  5. Edit the component library in the database view.
  6. Confirm by clicking OK. You will return to the Component Libraries database view. The InProject field of the copied library will now have the value 1. After this, the program will load the components in question from the project-specific library. The original component library will remain unchanged.
  7. Confirm by clicking OK.
Note: System tab is only available if you are a system administrator.
