Saving 2D Symbols as Library Parts
If you find that you need to place a 2D pattern many times in a project, you may wish to create a 2D symbol, then save it as an object.
1.
Draw the desired 2D symbol in the project using 2D tools (line, text, fill etc.).
2.
Put hotspots on each point where you want the cursor to find the object.
3.
Select the desired drawing elements.
4.
In the
Save Object
dialog which appears, enter a name and choose the desired folder location for the object:
•
to the Embedded Library (default choice. It is recommended to save customized, project-specific objects to your Embedded Library.)
•
to a BIM Server library that has been added to the project
Note:
You must reserve the BIM Server Library folder before saving to it
•
browse for a linked library
Optionally, click New Folder to create a new folder within the selected library folder.
5.
Place the object with the Object tool. Note that the created object is stretchable, but will be distorted after stretching since it was not scripted using parametrics.
For information on editing the resulting GDL library part, see
