Snippets

If you find yourself placing the same group of objects over and over, snippets let you save any part of a drawing and reuse it whenever you need it.

How to Create a Snippet

  1. Select the objects in your drawing that you want to save.
  2. Go to Edit → Save as Snippet.
  3. Give it a name in the dialog. You can organize snippets into groups to keep things tidy.

Snippets live in your symbol library under _CONF\snippets. Each one is a .snippet file — just copy the folder to move them between machines.
