Using a Fusion library

The easiest way to create and share a project library of components is with a Fusion library.

To create a new library from a library supplied with Fusion Electronics

  1. Click File > New Electronics Library.
  2. Click Open Library Manager Open Library Manager.
  3. Search or filter for a library to use as a basis for the new library.
  4. In the Results list, right-click the library and click Edit.
  5. Click File > Save.
  6. In the Save dialog, specify a descriptive name for the library, select the project folder, then click Save.

This new library is an independent copy of the supplied library. You can freely add, delete, and modify components in this library. You can create components or import them from existing libraries.

To share a project library with other team members

  1. Open Data Panel. Your Team Account is listed at the top, and your projects listed below.
  2. Double-click a project to open it. The project documents and libraries, which may be in folders, are listed.
  3. At the top of the panel, click People.
  4. Enter email addresses of people you want to invite to share access to the project folder, including its libraries.
  5. Click Invite. Each person receives an invitation email.

Invited users become members of your team and must select that team in their Data Panel to access the project folder.

Any team member can make changes to the libraries and other documents in the folder. No notifications are provided to team members of any changes to documents or libraries. Fusion libraries can't be combined, however, you can work around this by importing other components from another library into your library.
