where is my 2D object?

[heathldesign]

Hey everyone,

i created a simple 2D object which is in the embedded library when i go to the library manager, but it's not in the embedded library in the objects default settings window, so i can't select it. i've done a search for it but it doesn't come up. see pics

ok, so i went in to file>libraries and objects>open object and checked the "placable" option, now it's accessible in the objects pallet. there isn't an option to save as placable when creating it. just for fun, i tried to do it as "new object" but that's not intuitive, i'll have to read up on that. i tried it, and didn't see a way to save my new object. not intuitive.

Saving as new object is exactly the same process as saving as a custom component.

The difference is it will make the object 'placeable' and put it in your embedded library.

Saving as a custom component will also save to the embedded library, but as you noticed, the object is not placeable by default, as it is designed to be access from within another object.
