When you save your edits, the Parts utility does the following
for you:
• Saves the model definition to the model library that you
originally opened.
• If you had the automatic symbol creation option enabled,
saves the symbol definition to
model_library_name.slb.
• If the libraries are new, configures them for global use.
To save the new model (and s
mbol)

From the File menu, select Save Library to update
model_library_name.lib (and, if you enabled symbol
creation,
model_library_name.slb), and save them to
disk.

myparts.lib
, then the Parts
utility creates the symbol library
myparts.slb
