Save Selection as Object

A friend is trying to add "SAVE SELECTION AS OBJECT" to an old work environment...

While looking thru the menu commands in the WE editor, I could not find it???

When other WE's are called up, it does appear... but I can't locate it to add it to his old WE...

There is a command called Object... that says SAVE SELECTION AS OBJECT in the explanation panel, but it is NOT the typical Save Selection as Object that has all the secondary menus regarding DOOR, DOOR PANEL, WINDOW, etc...

Any direction is welcome...

The 'Save Selection As Library Part' is just a menu (folder) that you can create yourself if it is not already in the existing menus.

In that menu you then add the commands for save as object, door, window, etc.
There is also a command for other special component subtypes - No CC Subtypes.


These subtypes are GDL objects (macros) that are part of the loaded library.
For things like door leaf, handle, curtain wall frame, etc.
