customised parts

[Shotfree]

good morning to all, I read a little in the forum and, as I do with other cads, I came to the conclusion that standard parts such as flanges, nuts, screws, washers etc. it is better to make them create a personal library that contains them. Just about this I'm here wondering how to set up the path that contains them to avoid having to surf from time to time between folders. when I click the library key, I see the following message:
So I suppose there is a way to assign a position somewhere to handle them. my bookstores will all be families, since for experience managing these family components from several advantages (I have not yet tried but likely that the replacements together come free). Thank you very much for the indications you want to give me.

Good evening, it's been several days since I posted this question, no one has the solution? Thank you.

hi, the image you posted refers to the standard parts that is a package with already its libraries inside and with which there are several automatisms for placing (species of washers screws and dice that are automatically composed according to the selected hole)

it is therefore necessary first to install this package, then if the library does not satisfy you can create your own parts (which is a workmanship) and insert them with a procedure that I do not remember (it has been 20 years since the last time I have done it! o_o)

who does not use standard parts manages the library as all other parts

Okay, you know, but if you want to use my library, I can track the folders to avoid going back and forth?

I don't think I understand the question, tracking what do you mean? in the standard part application there is a menu where to do searches and selections according to criteria.

if you mean in windows the fastest method is to create a folder in which to put links to the various folders; depends very much on how you structured your bookstores.

from me, for example, commercial components have been encoded over time and are archived according to the encoding plan. I have therefore made a small db in which I grouped the components by category in this way I can search them faster (it is also true that after 18 years now I know the codes by memory )

I mean exactly this, having a folder where I insert all the various libraries, for now I have two folders, for example:
when I assemble the various parts work in the folder where I am saving my project, while the various standard libraries are elsewhere.
For example in creo, if you work in the folder, you can set a set of "path" paths to include in the search and create a set of shortcuts to reach what is located outside the project folder. with solid edge I noticed that when I move then I have to move back to the project path to continue with assembly. For example, working in the axieme scale:
If I have to take a bottom or flange I have to manually move to another path and manually return to the project folder. I would like to be able to move quickly from one side to another without having to click the whole subfolder ladder to take a standard component (type flange) and then repeat the sequence to return to take parts of my scale. (I don't know if I understood myself:

you can keep the windows window of your libraries open and drag the part of the axieme directly from there

ok, great solution even if I thought it was possible to manage everything from the environment of the cad. generally (at work) I am accustomed to managing everything on pdm, but of course I understand it is not the same thing in the folder!
