The Library Manager Panel

The Library Manager Controls

Below is an explanation of the various controls in the Library Manager. Refer to the previous diagram for the location of each control:

Library Index—the Library Index is used to find and select a currently active library to display in the Library Manager

Add—the Add button is used to select a new library to add to the currently active list of libraries
The Figure Sidebar Folder displays only the currently active libraries of figures.  You can add a new library of figures to the folder using this control.  Library figure files are generally (by default) stored in the Symbols subfolder (C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\My Documents\DynaSCAPEDS\symbols folder, where C:\ is your hard drive)

Remove— the Remove button is used to remove a library of figures from the currently active list of libraries

 



 Note:

Do not worry, selecting this option will NOT delete a library, only remove the figure from the current list

 

 

Sort— the Sort button is used to sort your currently active list of libraries

Update—the Update button refreshes the display in the Figure Folder; you can test the way the changes you are making will look in the Figures Folder

More—the More button opens up an advanced features section of the panel where a Library Layer Override can be set

Delete—the Delete button deletes a selected figure from the figure library

 


 Caution: 

Use the Delete button with care—once a figure is deleted from a figure library it CANNOT be retrieved.

 

 

Buttons to re-order figures—there are 4 buttons that you can click to re-order the figures.
