There are times when I’d appreciate a user defined library for storing and sharing models across multiple projects. Sometimes it’s convenient to design a part away from the more complex project and to have the possibility of inserting it into the main project(s) at a later stage.

At present, as far as I can see, that would be accomplished by having a scratch project and exporting from that to reimport into the main project. Not a deal-breaker but a bit inconvenient.

Thanks.
