If your library catalog is out of date, an alert displays when you start the Vectorworks program. Periodically, new libraries are added to the catalog. The files are organized by professional discipline and subject. New content is added on an annual basis at no additional cost. The Vectorworks libraries available depend on which Vectorworks products you have. If you are a Vectorworks Service Select member, the member libraries provide exclusive access to additional content. If you work mostly offline and would like to have the content locally available, you can add these libraries during installation, or download them any time with the Vectorworks Package Manager (see Installing Vectorworks libraries locally). The Resource Manager and Resource Selector allow you to browse the content online, and they will automatically download the required files on demand. From the Resource Manager, you can also drag a library resource directly onto your drawing. For example, you can browse line type resources from the Attributes palette, and browse plant styles (Vectorworks Landmark required) from the Plant tool’s Tool bar.įrom both the Resource Manager and Resource Selector, you can drag a library resource to a file in the file browser pane to easily import it. The Resource Selector has a similar browser pane, to provide access to resource libraries at the point of use. In the Resource Manager palette, the file browser pane (on the left) provides easy access to the resource libraries for even faster access, designate frequently used libraries as “favorites.” Hundreds of resource libraries are available for use with the Vectorworks application, and you can add custom libraries, as well.
