Uploading Libraries
In the Libraries menu you can upload and manage your own libraries. Libraries are always uploaded to a dedicated namespace. If you want to use a library in several namespaces, you must upload it to each namespace separately.
Library files must be in .lrep format.

 | The selected namespace is highlighted in blue and section Libraries is displayed. You are now able to upload library files to the selected namespace. To select a library file, click button Choose file. |
 | The name of the selected file is displayed. If you want to select a different file, use the Change file button. Click Upload to confirm your choice and start the action. |
 | After a successful upload the library is displayed in the Libraries section. The library is now available within this namespace. If you want to add the library to a project, open the Libraries folder and use the Manage libraries button. |
| All uploaded libraries of the selected namespace are listed in the libraries section. |
