Do this procedure to create a new library by cloning the structure of an existing one at a lower level. The customized library will be placed at your allowed customization level (for example, L4-Project). See Customization Levels.

  2. System Manager is in Engineering mode.
  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  2. Select Project > System Settings > Libraries > L1-Headquarter > Global > [library].
  3. In the Library Configurator tab, click Customize the entire library to a lower level .
    NOTE: The button is unavailable if the customized library already exists at your allowed customization level.
  4. Click OK.
