Catalogs

 

 

During the edition of some catalogs (such as Ejectors), intermediate warning messages may be displayed. Ignore these messages by closing the message windows.


Catalog storage Directory in this tab is the directory where the root catalogs are stored. This field may not be empty. A default directory is proposed. You can add other root catalog storage directories according to your needs. Separate each path by a ";".

 

Using catalogs stored in SmarTeam

You can customize your catalog storage so that you can retrieve components from, and store components in, SmarTeam (after intervention by your administrator). You need to initialize selection from these catalogs once (for each type of component) for them to be used by default as your component catalogs. Here is an example to show you how to do this:

  1. Open SmarTeam.

  2. Find a component of the type you want to use.

  3. Click it and select the contextual menu option that your administrator defined for you (here TEAM PDM URL).

    This displays a message:

    that gives you the ClassID number (687) and the ObjectID number (938). Note them.

  4. Let's suppose the component in question is a baffle. Click in the space that is beneath ClassID and across from Baffle and type 687. Do the same for Object ID and enter 938:

  5. Click OK.
