All libraries are DLLB elements which may be used for specific discipline types. For example, the set of areas for a piping discipline are likely to be different 3D volumes to those used by mechanical or structural disciplines. Area libraries are use to split the total areas into smaller groups to suit discipline based requirements.
To create area libraries:
-
Select Create then Area ADP Library and then Area Library from the main menu to display the ABA Area Library Definition form.

-
Enter a name for the new library in the Name field.
-
Select the appropriate function for the library from the Function drop-down box.
-
Click Add to add the new library to the Area Library list. You can use the Replace and Remove buttons to modify and remove area libraries respectively.
-
Close the form.
