adding krx in fastener command 2

[ChevyM]

i was wondering, and probably it's possible, but i have no idea how i can do this:
i want to create a fastener assembly with this part:

sorry, my native language is not english and i can't find the english word for it. sorry for that.
can i create this part as a KRX file and input it in to the reuse library so that the fastener assembly command can see my own made part? cause right now it only sees the parts that are already integrated in NX.

I don't know what to say as I have no problem accessing the full machinery library:

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

then i think it has to something with:
1, see attachment, the machinery library isnt added, but when i add it nothing happens when i press on the add button [2](see attachment which button i mean)
2, maybe it has to do something with the wheel between the return and X button on your screen which i have not..(also see attachement)

Trust me, the 'Wheel' (it's actually a 'gear' ;-) has nothing to do with this as it's just a User Interface option (the picture was taken from a session of NX 8.0).

I don't know what to say if you have the Machinery Library installed where it supposed to be and if you have no problems find what you're looking for by going to the Reuse Library tab on the Resource Bar.

Go to...

Customer Defaults -> Gateway -> Reuse Library -> General

...and in the appropriate section, Native or Teamcenter, check to see if the correct paths have been defined to where the libraries were installed.

no they are not, thats what i stated in my previous post with the attachment, you can see there that i dont have the machinery library in that section, but when i do(when i just ype it in the native section there) the add component button in the Fastener assembly function doesnt work and i can't go further then.. when i press that button(see my previous attachment to see what button i mean)nothing happens..

i've looked at the installation document, but i dont understand what it means at step 2 and further..:
2. Copy the zip files to “${Installation_Tool_Root}\Tool\libs” folder.

this folder is the folder within the download, so where do i put this directory?

since, i cant go further, ive got no idea how to get the picture in step 3..

can somebody help me with this?
