parts library

Hi,
I need to set up a parts library for electrical wiring diagram symbols.  I have watched Gary Fox's youtube videos, which I struggle to understand?  and now read the existing posts.  This post: http://forum.librecad.org/Parts-Library-td5655883.html#a5707089 in which Rollaz makes it seem very simple, however I am not confident of the terminology.  

Make a folder in your 'Home' - does home mean Documents?
What does this symbol represent ' ~ '  ?
he uses forward slash /  when all other info states backslash \   Does this make any difference?

he was talking about unix system.

Home is the same as ~. There's no difference in windows powershell between / and \

Hello Dayco,

The video you watch from Gary Fox was produced using Linux which the Home directory is the primary user directory.

Under windows your home directory would be the C:\ drive you can try using C:/Documents/Part Library or something like that. If that does not work the default location for the library file is
C:\Program Files\LibreCAD\resources\library

If you want to leave it on the default location create your directory folders for the blocks under C:\Program Files\LibreCAD\resources\library\Electrical symbols .... etc

I hope this helps you out.

I use Mac so I had to remember the directory structure of Windows....LOL
