Image – Click on the ‘Customise’ option and
browse for the image you wish to select. Note:
This MUST be a bitmap (.bmp) image NOT jpeg.
Size – ‘Select Customise’ and enter the Width and
Height you wish the LID block icon to be. You
don’t want this to be too big, so something like
24 x 38 for example.
Saving a Library Function
Once you have placed the blocks you require into your
new Library block, then simply Save it by clicking
‘File…Save’ or Ctrl-S and give it a meaningful name. Every
time you work on the Library function and re-save it, the
software will prompt you to enter a new version number:

Your new Library function will be saved with a ‘.xid’
extension rather than the standard program which uses
‘.xlg’.

Config. Click on Add button in the dialogue window that
appeared.
2. Enable the Library check box by placing a tick in it and
click File to browse to where you saved your LID block:
