Yes, all doors/windows will appear in the extracted folders on your disk - you just must not be looking in the right place? If you open the door or window tool in AC, you will see the folder hierarchy of the LCF - the folders created on your disk will match this exactly.<BR /> <BR /> If you mean you want to rename parameters and/or default values, then, yes, you need to edit the parts. This is done via the File &gt; Libraries and Objects &gt; Open Object menu.<BR /> <BR /> Generally, I would advise against renaming - unless you want to keep renaming things with every library update. I'm sure that a patch to the 12 library will be coming before too long ---and you'll then have to repeat your work.
