    Is it preferrable to save base features (when creating Library Features) to
    a base folder inside the Design Library or somewhere else?

    You can also create your own folder of library fetures and call it as
    you want. Just add it in Tools/Option/Files Locations/Design Library

    Thanks Ronan!
    You don't actually have to save the base do you? In other words, you can
    open a new part file, create a base, then create and save the library
    feature, then close the part file without saving. Once the library feature
    is saved, it's not linked in any way to the original part (.sldprt) file.
    Correct?

    Always save this part as a copy, (to a folder in your design lib), then
    delete the original. then no references are created.
    A good habit to get into for design lib parts assemblies etc....
