Library folder

The external resources of SmartParts (subscripts, bitmaps) are usually saved in the office standard in the STD\SmartParts and STD\SmartParts\Bitmaps folders. Thus all SmartParts access a common data pool.

You can also use library folders to structure SmartParts. Similar SmartParts and the associated external resources (subscripts, bitmaps) can be combined in library folders. The bitmaps used in a SmartPart or in the associated dialog box must be in the \bitmaps subfolder. For example, this type of structure is useful for sets of furniture that use the same components and surfaces.

The library folders are created in the STD (office standard) or ETC (defaults) folder.

Library folders with SmartParts, subscripts and bitmaps

Notes:

• The names of the library folders are predefined and must not be changed.
• Subscripts can also be in subfolders such as STD\SmartParts\Library_1\Subs. In this case, the name of the subfolder must be included in the CALL of the subscript, for example, CALL "Subs\subscript101.smt".
• For the CALL of the subscript, you can also use relative paths, which are based on the folder where the SmartPart is saved (library folder).
• All bitmaps that are used by a subscript (or the master SmartPart) must be in the Bitmaps subfolder of the library folder.
