The Ecostruxure Component Library can now be synced over using Smartware. This should provide automatic updates for the foreseeable future, and should simplify the hassle of updating your components library.
This will not delete any existing component groups, however it will override anything that is named the same. If you are worried about keeping custom components, please make a backup before opting in.
Attached is a video guide if you would like to follow along.
To opt-in:
Open Smartware Studio and go to "Check for Updates..." in Smartware
Open Options on the next screen that pops up.
Check the box for Company 'My Documents' Files
Run another "Check for Updates", and the components should download themselves into the correct directory.
Open your Graphics Editor and verify that the components have showed up.
If they did not, Right-Click on the components pane on the Left. Go to categories...
Make sure that all of the categories are selected in order for them to show up in the components category. In the example below, the first 5 are checked.
