More than one symbol can be imported into the library at a time provided that the following requirements are met:

• The symbols are located in the same folder on your computer.
  
  
• Multiple symbols can only be imported using the Import 3D Symbol dialog.
  
  If you try to drag and drop group-selected files in Windows Explorer, only the file that was selected first is imported.
  
  
• When imported as a group, symbols must be assigned to the same symbol category.
  
  If you wish to assign them to different categories, they must be imported separately.
  
  Symbols that are imported as a group are assigned names based on their original file names with the file extension omitted.

There are several ways to select multiple files in the Import 3D Symbol dialog: 

• Click on the first one, hold down the Shift key, then click on another file. The two files plus all files in between are selected.
  
  
• To select multiple files individually, click on one, hold down the Ctrl key, then click on additional files. Only the files you click on are selected.
  
  
• To select all files in the directory, click on one and press Ctrl + A. Only do this if you wish to import all files in the folder.
