Is there any way to edit Femap libaries in a "sophisticated" manner? The only options I seem to have (v10.1) are add and delete. I realize I can open them via a text editor and edit in that format, but this is still time consuming for simple tasks.

Examples of things I'm looking to do:
Sort - alphanumerically, by type, etc.
Remove duplicates
Include comments such as sources
Keep revision history or comments

Also, is there a way to "link", for lack of a better term, between existing properties, layups and materials in custom libraries? I would like to be able to add a property and have it automatically pull the appropriate supporting layups and materials from associated library files instead of doing it manually.
