Manage Class Library
The command Manage Class Library opens the dialog Manage Class Library. You can add the following items to the Class Library and to the Toolbox or remove them from it:
Any of the built-in objects.
Add-in products, which extend the functionality of Plant Simulation. For some of the add-in products you have to purchase a license from Siemens to utilize them.
Tools, application object libraries, and additional libraries, which you and your colleagues develop, or which you purchase from a third-party vendor.
If the object or the library requires a license, Plant Simulation shows the name and the version number of the required license in the right column.
You can only add objects to an open simulation model.
To update all libraries, which are not current, to the most current state, click Update All Libraries . Plant Simulation only shows the button when you opened a model. It does not show it when the dialog is opened while creating a new model. When you click the button, Plant Simulation selects the most recent available version number of all loaded libraries. It only actually updates the libraries when you click the OK or the Apply button.
To show this dialog, when you open a new model, select this 
.
To apply the settings you selected in the dialog to all new models, which you create hereafter, click Apply to New Models 
.
To show a description of an object below the list of objects, click that object in the list.
To resize the dialog, grab one of its corners or sides and drag the mouse.
To show in which file and in which directory the libraries are stored, hold down the Shift key and the Ctrl key while you click 
Manage Class Library. This information is especially helpful when several versions of the same library are located on your computer’s hard drive.
To show deprecated libraries, hold down the Shift key and the Ctrl key while you click Manage Class Library to open the dialog Manage Class Library. Then the dialog shows the category Libraries > Deprecated. Deprecated libraries are libraries that were part of previous versions of Plant Simulation and which are now obsolete and are not supported any more.
The dialog shows libraries which you or your colleagues develop under Libraries > Additional Libraries.
Plant Simulation opens this dialog, when you select the command File > New Model for the first time.
Plant Simulation checks about every half hour if a newer version of any of the loaded libraries exists.
