    Selected Objects
     toolbar, click
    Add selected object to a Library
    .

The
Assign to/Create New
 window is used to populate library objects. It can be used to bring items from the ACD file into existing library objects that can be edited using
Library Designer
 or to create library objects that contain the item from the ACD file. Additionally, when opened from the
Library Object
 pane it can be used to create new empty, library objects.
When an existing library is being used, only
Select Library
 is active; all
Library Attributes
 settings in this window are read-only.
When creating a library object, all of the settings except for
Revision
 become active.
This window opens when you click the
Add selected object to a Library
 button.
The
Assign to/Create New
