Component dialog box
-
I've created a component and as long as I am in the model it was created in, it will show up in the component dialog box under,( IN MODEL). (HOWEVER!!!) When I begin with a new model(with a brand new Sophie) on the screen and open up the component dialog box, I cannot find the models I've created from the previous model anywhere. Needless to say I'm lost on this one.

There are a couple of ways you can do this, Gerry.
The first is the copy and paste method (a bit crude, but it works).
The second thing you can do is a little more refined. Save your components in files in a folder with a name and in a location of your choosing. With this accomplished, you'll want to create what's called a local collection. This is done by bringing up the Components dialog (Window > Components) and then clicking on the right pointing arrow on the right of the dialog. This will produce a flyout menu whose first option is to create a local collection. Selecting this option will bring up a window prompting you to select the folder where you saved your components (remember that part about saving your components in files in a folder in a location of your choosing?). With this done, you will have access to your new component collection!
Hope this helps.
Chris.

Gerry, you might find this and this old thing helpful.
If you are saving components for later use, take a moment to think about and adjust where the insertion point should be to make it easy to insert later.
