4. Create your Genie object, and define the required substitutions (see Define Genie Substitutions).

5. Click the Save button on the Graphics Builder toolbar, or choose Save from File menu.

   

6. Select the Project and Library in which you would like to store the Genie.

7. Enter a name for the Genie in Genie field.

To create a new library for the Genie, click New. The New Library dialog will display. In the field provided, name the new library and click OK. The new library will be added to the library list. You can now Paste a Genie on a graphics page.
