The Object Library Window is a dockable window. It makes configuring, managing and sharing user-defined objects easier. It contains default objects, common objects, object groups and global objects.

■ Default Objects
Each type of screen objects can have one default object and the default objects are saved in the object library. The settings of a default object will be used as the initial settings for a newly created object of the same type. To view all the default objects for the project, you can click the window tab named Objects.

You are allowed to specify any object as the default object for the type of that object. The old default object of the same type is discarded when you specify a new default object. To make an object as a default object, right-click the object to get the pop-up menu and click the Save as Default command in the pop-up menu.

■ Common Objects/Object Groups
The common object/object group can be used in the whole project. To view the common objects/object groups, you can click the window tab with a user defined name.

To make an object as a common object/object group, right-click the object/object group to get the pop-up menu and click the Save to Object Library… command to bring up the Save to Object Library dialog. In the dialog, you may type a name and select a user defined category for the common object/object group.

■ Global Objects
Global objects can be used in the entire project. Any modification of a global object will be applied everywhere it is used in the project. To view all the global objects for the project, you can click the window tab named Global.

To make an object as a global object, right-click the object to get the pop-up menu and click the Save as Global Object… command to bring up the Save to Object Library dialog. In the dialog, you may type a name and select a user defined category for the global object.
