Parts Library and Templates

Parts library

Open it with P, the toolbar's Parts button, or Start from a part on the start screen. Filter by category (Mechanical, Fasteners, Enclosures, Everyday) or search.

Each part inserts as ordinary features with its own parameters, prefixed with the part name and a number (gear1_teeth, gear2_teeth, …), so it stays fully editable. Inserting is a single undo step. If bodies already exist, the new part is placed to the right of them with an editable Place move step, and the view re-fits.
