Library tab

The Library tab is a member of the docking window tab set in Draft. It displays Draft documents you can place as symbols, and model files that you can drag onto the sheet to create drawing views. You can also double-click a file displayed in the Library tab to open that file in Solid Edge.

Note:

When no document is selected, you can use the commands on the shortcut menu to change how the list is displayed and how you want to place the symbol. When a document is selected, you can use the commands on the shortcut menu to copy, delete, or rename a document.
