Component Library
Save groups of shapes as reusable components and build a personal library of architecture infographic building blocks. Drag components from the library onto any infographic canvas.
The component library lets you save selections of shapes and connections as reusable building blocks. Once saved, a component can be dragged onto any infographic canvas, instantly placing a complete pre-styled group of shapes. This is particularly valuable for maintaining visual consistency across architecture documentation.
System and User Components
System Components
Bundled with NeoArc Studio and organised by category (badges, charts, icons, layouts, etc.). These are read-only and always available. They provide a starting point for common infographic patterns.
User Components
Created by you from the current selection on the canvas. Stored in your user data directory and organised into categories you define. You can rename, recategorise, and delete user components.
Saving a Component
Using a Component
Drag a component from the library panel onto the canvas. The full set of shapes and connections is placed at the drop position. After placement, the shapes are independent copies that you can edit, reposition, or group as needed.
