Command entry:Material/Map Browser
Right-click the title bar of a library group (other than Autodesk Material Library).
This menu manages Library groups.
Custom material libraries appear in the Material/Map Browser, and are useful as an organizing tool. You can open and create
them with commands on the Material/Map Browser Options menu. Once created or opened, a custom library remains in the Material/Map Browser, persisting between sessions.
To add a map or material to a library, drag it to the library from elsewhere in the Material/Map Browser (not from a named
view). To remove an item from a library, right-click its entry and choose Remove From Lib. To remove a library from the Material/Map
Browser, right-click its header and choose Close Material Library. But first, if you want to reuse the library later, save
it (see following); otherwise the library is permanently deleted.
