Engee User Libraries
User libraries 
are files with the .nglib extension that can contain any Engee blocks. These files allow you to use your own blocks from the Engee block library 
.
Creating your own libraries allows you to:
-
Store frequently used blocks in a convenient format to greatly simplify and speed up the modelling process;
-
Add required elements directly from the custom library, instead of creating new blocks for each model.
The advantages of custom libraries are their flexibility and reusability. Such libraries help to standardise components, ensuring consistency across models and reducing the possibility of errors. In addition, custom libraries make it easy to share developed blocks, which promotes more efficient teamwork and saves time.
| To download other users' custom library files or upload your own, use Engee Remote Repository. For more information on how to work with the remote repository, see our articles on Git. |
| Once you have added your blocks to the Engee library, you will not be able to remove them while the session is active. To remove these blocks, you need to completely stop the Engee session and restart it. This will clear all user libraries, and if they are needed, they will have to be re-loaded. |
To work with custom libraries:
-
Create a .nglib library file in the Files window of
and give it the desired name:
-
Create the desired block or subsystem in the Engee model. A subsystem allows many blocks to be stored inside it at the same time. Therefore, to add a group of blocks to the library, combine them into a subsystem.
-
Save the .nglib file in the file browser or navigation bar:
The directory in which a file is saved does not affect its location in the block library. -
To make blocks appear in the Engee library window
, move the .nglib file to a folder and add it to the path using path editor:
-
The added files will be placed in the User Libraries section, where the name of the .nglib file will become the name of the corresponding subsection:
-
A previously created or loaded user library can also be accessed by searching the workspace:
