2.3.1.1 Library
The data model of Process Designer uses a library concept. Libraries enable the use of components, equipment, and operations in a project. A library
contains standard elements, such as the existing resource structure (Resource Library), a standard process descriptions (Operation Library), as well
as the original component (Part Library) and the list of connection data.
Libraries are used to transport information within and between projects. Libraries may be indicated by the icon, which looks like a filing cabinet. A
library can contain sub-libraries as its children object node. The types of object that can be added as children node to a library depends on the type
of the library as well. Libraries in Process Designer are used as prototype repositories. The various types of libraries provide a source of standard
objects that can be dragged and dropped as instances in various nodes on the Navigation Tree. The libraries may be built from imported data and
edited as needed from within Process Designer.

2.1.4.1 Displaying Objects
Part and resource libraries contain prototypes of elements, to which 2D and 3D representations are assigned. From the protoypes you can derived as
many instances to be used in the study of the project. Instances of these prototypes can be dragged into other objects like compound resources,
parts or operations. The 2D and 3D mapping is always performed on the prototype in a library and cannot be changed on the instance. In the
instance level you can only change the specific attributes, for example the position in the layout.
