Abstract
A system and method providing an optimal way to create, manage and use resource data is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the system and method provide the ability to store resource data in a library, namely a resource library. A resource library includes resource files that can be attached to a regular data file either automatically, for example, by setting an environment variable, or manually. More than one resource library or resource file may be created and simultaneously attached to a data file. The resource file defines attributes of elements that may be used in creating the CAD model. Typically, the resource library includes attributes that are to be standardized across a project, file, or model.
