# Part Libraries and Symbols

Once installed, these Part Libraries can be viewed with the Library Browser so that parts can be inserted into your drawings (start LibreCAD, then select: “View > Toolbars > Library Browser”). On insertion, each part is converted into a block which can be re-inserted many times.

WARNING: though these DXF files have been tested, scanned and re-worked in a Linux environment, we cannot guarantee that they will be entirely free from malicious code which could destroy your data or damage your computer system.

## Installation

The easiest method of installation, which does not require Windows Administrator or Linux Root privileges, is to create a new folder named “library” on your Desktop or in your Documents. Download any of these Part Libraries and unzip (Extract) them into the new “library” folder, then go up a level, right-click on the folder's icon and select “Properties”. The path to this folder (Location) should be something similar to “C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop” or “/home/user/Documents”, therefore the full path to the unzipped Part Libraries within it would be “C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\library\” or “/home/user/Documents/library/” (remember to include the final “\” or “/” after “library”). Make a note of this full path, restore LibreCAD, select: “Edit > Application Preferences > Paths”, type the full path into the box marked “Part Libraries”, select “OK”, then re-start LibreCAD.

These Part Libraries are universal, that is, they have been tested on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, Windows and Linux:

### Electronics

Most of these electronic symbols (Electronic3-LCAD) are similar to the Philips-Mullard format that was in use from 1970 to 1990 and most are still in use today.

Files were originally created as part of a college project (Electronic1, 2006) using AutoCAD, but they have been re-worked and saved using LibreCAD to ensure compatibility with QCAD, LibreCAD, and FOSS (Free Open-Source Software).
