• Import the listed parts by clicking “Import”. The flow for saving parts is the same for saving files. Just like imported files, the imported part is saved as a new project in the Materials box.

• When importing single parts, you also have the option of saving them to the Auto Annotations Library to use for auto-annotating projects (see next section 1.25 for more details).

• Parts can also be imported via the "File" drop down menu at the top of your screen.
