If you want to make your own library; the following steps may help you
1. keep all the library items in a specific folder
2. folder path should not contain any space (eg- C:\ptc\objlib\eng_part_lib) .dont make folders name having space (eg- C:\ptc\objlib\eng part lib)
3.Change your config.pro setting pro_library_dir
To change the config setting go to tools, options
options window will pop up
write pro_library_dir in the space in lower left window
use the browse option to locate your library folder (eg- C:\ptc\objlib\eng_part_lib)
press apply and close to save the setting.
before saving please check the proper location of config.pro
4. Now when you will go to pro-e window ; you will see a library icon at left side common folders . This is a short cut to find and use your Library parts
5. You can use items from library folder in your assembly.But when you open assembly; library parts may ask to be retrieved (parts missing)
6.Now to resolve this problem you need to make a search path file in notepad and save it as searchpath.pro
To make a search path file open a new note pad
write the path of library folder as following
search_path c:\ptc\objlib\eng_part_lib\
or
"c:\ptc\objlib\eng_part_lib"
You can write multiple folder locations in one search path file
save it as searchpath.pro
7. Change your config.pro setting search_path_file ; in the same manner as you changed pro_library_dir earlier.
8. Browse the file location where you have kept the searchpath.pro file
8. save and exit
9. Now your library items will be traced automatically from the library folder
I hope this may help you
