Document and Global Libraries
There is no real difference between Document libraries and Global Libraries. The distinction is an organizational
one, made to help keep complex Projects manageable and to provide security features for larger facilities. Librar-
ies designated as
Global are available to all projects but can be opened and manipulated from the Document
Library
window. Equally, Libraries created in the Document Libraries window can be opened in the Global
Libraries
window.
The default Project Library created with every Project is stored with the Project. It can still be opened in the
Global
Libraries
window by locating the .PMX project file in the Project’s Media Files sub-folder.
The left hand pane shows
Libraries and Shelves associated with the project. The contents of the selected Library
or
Shelf is shown in the right-hand pane with information about the objects in columns. Shelves are displayed at
the top with individual library items below. Clicking on the
+ or - signs in the left-hand pane expands or collapses
Libraries and Shelves.
Libraries allow Drag & Drop operations from the Library content (right side window) to the Library/Shelf tree hier-
archy (left side window).
