Rhino equivelent to Autosketch 5 "symbols"

[CurtisU]

Hello All,

AutoSketch 5 has "Symbol Libraries" full of things like electronics components, architectural elements, bolts, screws, etc., also the ability to create symbols and libraries. So when needed, you can pick a symbol to drop into a project.

Is there anything similar in Rhino?

I've only recently become the proud owner of Rhino... nice... challenging.

Thanks,
Curtis

There are many libraries with 2D and 3D object files that can be imported into Rhino. For hardware Reid Tool has a good one. The Solid Works site has a huge one with many sections.

Alright... I see. So these objects are essentially stand-alone files one imports or exports, and would probably organize on his or her hard drive if desired?

Thanks for the nudge, it seems pretty obvious now.
