Loading and Closing Libraries

You can load libraries of templates that are stored on your computer or on another computer available through your network.

Libraries make it easier for you to work on productions with other users that will share the same templates. Toon Boom Studio identifies libraries with the extension TBC. To load a library, the folder must have a file with the TBC extension inside of it.

To load and close libraries:

1. [Control]-click in the left pane of the Library window and select Open Library from the pop-up menu. A dialog box opens that you can use to locate a library.

2. Click Open when you have located the library you want to open.

The library appears in the left pane of the Library window.

3. To close a library, [Control]-click the library and select Close Library.

4. If you have made changes to the library since you last saved the global library, a message appears asking you to confirm your desire to close the library.

Click Yes to close the library without saving changes.
Click No to keep the library open so that you can save changes.

5. Select File > Save Global Library to save changes to the library.
