'Save Selection as Library Part' gone in AC16?

[Anonymous]

Just upgraded to 16 from 15 and the 'Save selection as Library Part' function is gonzo? How to make simple library parts now? Need lattice fencing for deck skirting if anyone knows where to find that?

I'm using the Australian version of AC16 and I have the "Save Selection as..." menu available in my custom work environment (see attached image).

Your "custom" work environment will be based on a standard 16 WE.
If you have imported a work environment from a previous version then this menu doesn't exist.
It can be created but you don't get the nice little icon like you do with the with the menu in the standard WE.
There are a few menus like this.

It would be nice if the WE setup would allow us to add icons to the menus as well.

Maybe there should be a "Show all new menus" option as well as a "Show all new commands" one.

David - thank you.

'No CC Subtypes' was the culprit, had found all the other (door, window, object etc).

'Save Selection As...' appears to be only available on a PC. Mac users will have to populate a submenu as you suggested, making sure to locate 'no cc subtypes'.

Thanks all to have helped.

As the menus / submenus can be different for each Profile (I mean the standard ones too) this can be difficult do achieve.
But maybe a new option, or a filter, to show not "all the commands" but only the command NOT placed in the current profile. So you know what you are missing...

Or we need something like the Attribute Manager where we can see two different profiles and copy from one to the other.
So we can have our custom profile open and still see all the settings in a standard (or any other) profile so we can compare and copy from it.

At the moment you can compare two profiles by opening two separate Archicads each with a different profile.
But of course then you can't copy from one to the other but have to create or amend all menus and toolbars manually.
