To open a Section Library

To open a standard library file of shapes for use in Shape Editor, use the following procedure.

  • Only a single database library may be loaded at one time. Opening a new database will close any currently open library.
  • Standard databases are loaded as read-only files for use in custom and built-up shapes. The database may not be modified through the Shape Editor.
  1. Either:
    • select File > Open Library
    • select the Open Library tool on the File toolbar
    • press Ctrl+O
    The Open dialog opens. The default location is the folder for standard databases.
  2. Select the standard database file (.db3) to open.
  3. Click Open.

Select File > Close Library in order to close all standard databases and custom shape libraries.
