Adding your own objects to a library

If you want to reuse your own objects the next time you open a particular drawing type, you can add your own objects to existing libraries in your diagram. You can also create a new library, and then add your own objects as well as any existing Diagram Studio objects you want to it. Then, you can save the library, so that you and others can reuse it in other diagrams.

To add your own object to an existing library:

 

1.

Select and drag your own object from drawing onto the library. A new icon representing your own object appears on the library with generic name, such as Group1.

 

2.

Click the new item on the library, click it again, and then type the name you want for the new object.

 

3.

Choose Edit Icon from the right mouse button menu and draw the icon you want for the new object.

To add your own object to new library:

 

1.

Choose File->New->Library. You can also choose New Library from the right mouse button menu.

 

2.

Select and drag your own objects, one at a time, from the drawing onto the new library.

 

3.

The Save As dialog box appears. In the Save As dialog box, navigate to the folder where you want to save the library, and then type a name for the library in the File Name box, and then click Save.
