When making improvements to a library, I usually make a new project and room to place cabinets in that I want to modify. Then, once mods are completed, I can save back to the library. When I open Library Designer, this saved cabinet is not in there with the features i added. The library has to be deleted, and then added in again. This is a lengthy process. I want to copy prompts I made in one base cabinet to all the other base cabinets. My request is that I can update the one cabinet withoutUnnecessary Double line machining // Square Pocket

How do you change the default block used in 3D drawings for Item Symbols? I have seen MV Tech's do this but I cannot remember how they did it. The default block is ItemSymbol3DAnno.dwg and I want it to default to ItemSymbol3D.dwg. Both of these blocksReports in Spanish
How can I get our English language reports to print in Spanish? As a test, I thought maybe our reports were linked to the Registry entry CultureFunctional : en-US.
