Saving user door/windows settings as a seperate GDL file?

Anonymous

I`ve opened a standard door/window, edited all the parameters to suit my application & want to save this door/window with my settings as a separate GDL in a desired folder(not as a favorite or embedded library)

When i`ve tried to save the object I keep losing all my settings

If someone could please let me know if this is possible & an easy way to do it?

I was an early purchaser of the excellent Master Template from Bobrow, but for me I found the visual favorites too distracting and never used that function.
But getting true transferable folder system for favorites would be way cool.
I hope dreaming is not illegal,
because I do it all the time.

I am working on a large zone stamp project, which will offer completely free line by line editing. So everyone COULD make its custom zone stamps in zone category menu, IF you could use the UI in this environment. SO you will have to define the stamp in a placed object and will have to export all parameters and to import in catgory defining menu. This export and import I will have to program in the script, because AC is unable to save the parameters. It will be a pain and will slow down editing process. Send to wishlist a long time ago.
