Using the Design Library

- [Instructor] The SolidWorks design library is a huge time saver and it's a really great way to work inside of SolidWorks. You can think of the design library, just like a regular library. You can have books, you can have information, you can have notes, things like that in your library. And you can check those books in and you can check them back out. Same thing with like a note, you can check a note in and then you can pull that note right back out. Same thing with parts assemblies and so many more things. So right over here you can see on the right hand side, if I zoom in, here's my part wherever it is. I have this note right over here, right? And I have a library over here. So here's my design library. If I open that up, I could actually click on this little pin to just lock it out here. So it's sitting out here. Now, inside the design library, I have annotations, I have assemblies, I have features, forming, I have all this information, parts, and these are all preloaded, right?…
