Company Library Parts
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager 18.0 and higher support company library parts. A company library part has the same behavior as a standard library part in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling but allows more flexibility in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager. For example, you can overwrite, reserve, or unreserve a company library part in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager.
You can create a company library part in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling and store it in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager. For details on creating a company library part, see Add a library part or assembly in the Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Help.
When you store the company library part from Creo Elements/Direct Modeling to Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager, you must specify the class in the Class Name column of the Save dialog box.
* 
The Class Name column is not visible in the Workspace, by default. To add the Class Name column do as follows:
1. In the Save dialog box, right-click and, in the shortcut menu, click Layout > 3D Library. The Library_3D attributes dialog box opens.
2. Click the Class Name check box.
Configure a class for company library part
To configure a class in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager 20.8 to support the company library parts, add the following in your custom.xml file at <Creo Elements\Direct Manager Server installation location>\config\:
<ClassDefs>
    <Class extends="DMCorporateLibrary">
      <Name>CORP_LIBRARY_3D</Name>
    </Class>
  </ClassDefs>
Support for the company library part in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager is controlled by three elements which are as follows:
• The Access Control List (ACL), CORP_LIBRARY_3D_ACL, which allows the admin user to overwriting, by default. The permissions to reserve and overwrite company library parts are completely controlled by the associated ACL. Both, the designer and the admin user, can reserve company library parts, but only the admin user can overwrite them, by default.
• A new database class CORP_LIBRARY_3D.
• The business object class, com.osm.dm.biz.DMCorporateLibrary3D, which allows to reserve or unreserve the corporate library parts.
* 
You cannot create versions of company library parts in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager.
