    The symbol import wizard gives you important options for windows, doors, millork, etc. that the convert function doesn't. And then where you can save it in the Library is keyed off the choices you make there. For the convert function, your choices for where to put it in the Library are limited, but you can move it manually after the fact.

    My Moldings is typically for polylines used as a basis for generating moldings in 3D, not 3D symbols. You can manually put whatever symbols you want in there, but not sure why you would want to do that, might get confusing.

    I have yet to indulge too deep in libraries yet. I think i'll watch videos about that tonight. You are right, that might get confusing. I suppose I could make a custom library called my symbols?
