The Design Library includes folders populated with reusable entities,
such as annotations,
parts,
assemblies, and forming tools.
The Design Library controls all library feature functions including:
- Display of the library features and subfolders that contain
library features.
- Preview of the library feature parts.
- Insertion of the library features on the face of a part or on a
plane in the graphics area.
A sample Design Library folder is located on the disk in C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS version\design library.
You can use the Search bar to search the Design Library or within a
specific library.
To limit the search to a specific library, click the down arrow and
select a library.
If you select Toolbox but did
not configure it, a prompt appears directing you to add in Toolbox.
