The library allows users to create commonly used configurations of objects and save them for easy use in FeatureCAM parts. This type of functionality is also called templates. Examples of library objects might include a collection of lines and arcs, single features whose attributes have been customized for a specific application or a collection of features that you might use multiple times.
Tree view shows the contents of a specific part library. These libraries contain objects, which you can paste into FeatureCAM parts, and folders which are used to organize your objects.
Add selected
– The objects must be selected before opening this dialog box. If multiple
objects are selected, they are added to the library as a stream. This
is indicated in the tree view with the 
button. A stream
is a temporary group. When these objects are pasted into a document, the
stream grouping is removed and just the objects are added directly to
the document. If you want a permanent grouping, create a group of objects
and then add the group to the part library.
Add folder – Adds a folder for organizing objects within the library.
Delete – Removes the selected object from the part library.
Rename – Renames the object that is selected.
Paste – Instigates the paste special command on the selected objects from the part library. The name of the pasted object is based on the name of the object in the library. If you paste multiple copies of the same type of object, the subsequent objects are named with a _1, _2 suffix. The only exception is a stream object. For stream objects, the objects are pasted directly into the document using the names of the objects contained in the stream.
Import – Imports objects of a part library into the current library.
Export – Exports all objects in the current library to an external library file. These files have a .nam extension.
Open library – Opens a part library.
New library – Creates a new part library.
