    Library

    One thing I really wish I could do, without kludges, is the ability to select a set of vectors and group them, then save them as an object for use later.
    This would save me a great deal of time!

    Example: Say I had created all my DB connector cutouts and I saved them all as DB9, DB15, DB25, DB37.

    Anytime I'm working on a new project, I could open my library and it would copy the grouped vectors to the clipboard and I could use the paste stamper to put them where I want. I noticed though, pasted vectors loose there constraints and you have to do hundreds of little constraints everywhere again, like in the case above.

    Grouping vectors should retain all the current vector positions and dimensions, unless you Over-ride them for modification.

    Have you looked at "Save Catalog Feature"? That lets you save a sketch on disk and re-use it in another part with "Insert Catalog Feature".

    Look for it under the Feature menu in Part Space.
