Saving embedded object to library buggy

Rick Thompson

i think this is yet another StairMaker/Embedded library bug, but anyone know a work around?

If I take a newly created stair, which is auto saved to the Embedded library, and then select it and save to a folder in "MyLibrary" it want reload for further use. It is in that folder as per Finder (Mac menu). so it's there, but will not show as available in the library after reloading... or in another pln, (reloaded library) which is where I want to use it, and a few others that are missing in action. All the stairs I have make in AC13 and saved to my library for further use are there in the library, but not accessible in the Stair Object menu. I'm not getting along very well with this new feature.

The only work around I have found is to copy/paste that stair from another pln into the new Embedded library.

thanks

I really hope you can bring back the ability to keep created stairs and objects in our custom linked library... not limited to an embedded one. I am fine if once placed that object/stair is embedded, but I need easy fast access for many common stair configurations.
That functionality has never been lost. Just save the object from the embedded library into your linked library folder. Simple. (Select the embedded object and click the button with the disk icon. Then delete the embedded object and reload your libraries.)

Is there any white paper on the suggested workflow to create library parts for distribution? Especially in a TEAMWORK SETTING?

Should I keep an OBJECT MAKER file open all the time and create parts there?

I see the EXPORT EMBEDDED TO DISK, but this seems odd at best.

Anyway... if there exists such a paper, please let me know....
