Chapter 18Using Libraries, Assembly Features, and Hole Wizard

Libraries help you make more efficient use of data that you will reuse frequently. Some features can be made to be very flexible so you can apply them in a wide range of situations. Some libraries, such as the Hole Wizard, are premade and can be combined with automation to create tools like Smart Components, which are library parts that can use library features and resize as necessary.

Shared libraries in multiuser environments require additional setup, including Windows permissions settings and SolidWorks File Location settings.
