[BLDG-SIM] Saving components to the user library in Equest

[Vikram Sami]

Personally, I save the comonents as text files out of the inp file. You can then paste them into your inp file whenver you need them in a new project.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Saving components to the user library in Equest


I apologize for the confusion - the documentation instructing users about saving components to a user library was supposed to be stricken from the eQUEST online help system.  eQUEST does not currently support the saving of building components to user libraries.

Good morning, 
I'm having an issue with trying to save a component to the user library in Equest.  The help files make it sound pretty straight forward,

 "After you have created or edited a building component, the Edit, Save Component to Library command allows you to save it to your User Library. The default User Library is USRLIB.DAT."

The problem that I'm running into is that the "save component to library" command is not a selectable option on my edit menu.  When I right click on a component to bring up the edit menu, the library command is "grayed out".  Is there some sort of set up that needs to be done so that I am able to save the user library?

Thanks, 
Dustin
