Library Properties

Access these from File > Prepare > Library Properties

Library Setup

This starts a dialog, shown below, which lets you edit properties of the current library.

When you Start Up your software or create a new drawing, you typically start with a library loaded e.g. ShapeMaster-2, and therefore based on this selected library.

The drawing starts off with its own set of properties, called the Drawing Properties, which are an exact copy of those in the library.

This means that the library properties are the default values, and these can be modified in the Drawing Properties for each individual job without changing the library at all.

If you find yourself making the same changes for each drawing, you can amend the Library Properties. Once the library is saved, any NEW drawings you create in the future will use the updated changes.

As you select each friendly page, a relevant property inspector will be displayed allowing you to enter user defined variables.

Library Properties, even though these are global defaults, are displayed with a light grey background - not to be confused with which also has a light grey background.
