Registered Libraries overview
Registered Libraries
displays all libraries (classes) in the connected ACM database in a tree view. Add a library to an ACM project to use the objects in it with your project.A library object defines parameters, subclasses, user interface contents, and portions of controller code (for example, Logix) and HMI code (for example, FactoryTalk View SE/ME). It can also include custom properties that were applied using the
Library Designer
.The library nodes on the
Registered Libraries
tree will show an indication if any of the selected library repositories contain a library with the same solution and catalog number but a higher revision number.Right-click any branch in the
Registered Libraries
tree view to view the commands available.This table describes each command. Commands appear at the applicable level of the tree.
