To share the created library, an export file may be created by using command **Export Library** in menu section **File**. When selecting this menu option, you will be offered a choice of defining the file name and the entire current library and a library copy will be unloaded to that file.

Such library export file may then be distributed within a group of users and may be uploaded by any user via the command **Import Library** on the **File** menu.

In case of collision of an imported and an existing library element that have the same name (e.g, there will always be a collision between the DEFAULT library elements saved in an exchange file and those existing in target SEAMCAT copy), a choice will be given to either to overwrite the existing elements or to import new library items after renaming them.
