Just start a new folder under 'libraries' in the install path or the user path.
Or any place will do when you register the custom path in App.prefs. :wink:

By storing dxf files or snippets in that path or by menu Block > Create Library item (BT).

By storing items in sub-folders of the intended parent folder.

On using the Library Browser it may be required to update the database ... See lower right in the Dialog.
