Managing collections and libraries

Most of the symbols you will use have already been created and are stored in library files that are grouped into collections.

The Symbol manager docker always displays libraries and collections that are in your local Symbols folder. You can add collections and libraries to your Symbols folder from elsewhere on the network. When you insert a local or external symbol into a drawing, a copy of the symbol definition is added to the document, but it remains linked to the source symbol.
