Creating a custom part

To create your own custom part:

1. Create an animation, button or picture using the New animation, New button, or New picture part. (See Animation, Button, or Picture for instructions.)
2. Select Save as Custom part... from the Part toolbar or Edit menu.
3. Enter a relevant label for your new part.
4. Select Save part. Your animation is automatically saved to the My Parts folder in the Contents pane.

Note: If you want to use your custom part in another model you need to save the file in which you created your custom part as a template. First delete all parts from all scenes, then save the file. This blank file is your template; it will include your custom part in the Contents pane.
