ENL - Using Libraries

Once you have created a library and associated an object (or objects) to that Library you can begin to work with it.

To get an idea how Libraries work, follow the simple instructions below:

C reate a new Library.
A ssociate an object to that Library (any object will do).
Place the same object in the Graphical View.
In the Library window select the Library to activate it (a check mark will appear next to the Library).
A message will be displayed asking if you want to replace your technical objects with the selected library, click Yes.
Your object will then be replaced by the Library in the Graphical View.
Any objects that you place in the Graphical View that have a link to (whether calling or called) to the object associated to the Library will be linked to the Library with an Access (A) type link.

Notes

To replace the library with the original object, deactivate the Library in the Library window by clearing its associated check box. A message will be displayed asking if you want to replace the Library with the technical objects:
- All Objects > select this if you want the original object plus all of its child objects to replace the Library in the Graphical View
- Previous Object > select this if you want to replace the library with the original object only
- None > select this if you don't want to replace the library with any objects (the Library will still be removed).
When you replace an object with a Library in the Graphical View, the object will be displayed with a gray color in the Object Browser window.
You can also use the and buttons to activate and deactivate a Library (as oppose to selecting it) - although selecting these buttons will also activate/deactivate ALL the Libraries present in the Library window.
