Click a window design on the Preview Bar and drag it into the Design Window. 3 To adjust the nudge rate 1 2 On the Standard Toolbar, click the Selection Tool. On the Properties Bar, type a new value in the Nudge Rate text box, then press ENTER. 2 To adjust the join sensitivity 1 2 On the Standard Toolbar, click the Selection Tool. On the Properties Bar, type a new value in the Join Sensitivity text box, then press ENTER. 3 Note: A lower value means that you must position objects closer to join them. 4 To adjust the drawing precision 1 2 On the Standard Toolbar, click the Selection Tool. On the Properties Bar, click Inches or Feet - Inches, in the Precision section. Measurements on the Status Bar change to reflect your preference. To save a new window design 1 On the File menu, click Save Window to Library or click the Save Window to Library button on the Properties Bar. The Save Window to Category dialog box is displayed.

(optional) Click New to create a new window category. Select a folder in which to create the new category, then type a name for the new category and click OK.
