Saving a Truss to the Library

library. You can only save trusses to a customer-specific library.
First create the library, see Creating a New
Library.

- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.

dialog box opens. The parts of the modeled truss are displayed in
the preview window.
- Select a customer-specific library from the Libraries list. The
Save to library button is activated.
- Click Save to library. The Truss library dialog box
opens.
- Define the library data of the truss in the dialog box.
