Publishing Tool Catalogs
The Publish Catalog feature helps you make tool catalogs available for use by multiple users on a network. You can
move and copy catalogs or make them available from their current location. The feature handles dependent file paths
during the publish catalog operation.
1 Right-click the tool catalog you want to publish, and click Publish <catalog_name>.
2 In the Publish Tool Catalog - Step 1 of 4 dialog box, do one of the following:
Then… If you want to…
click Move it to a new location. move the catalog to a new location when publishing it
click Copy to another location. copy the catalog to a different location
click Leave it in its current location. publish the catalog from its current location
3 Click Next.
If you are moving or copying the catalog, you are prompted to specify the destination location.
4 In the Publish Tool Catalog - Step 2 of 4 dialog box, specify the destination for the tool catalog.
You can enter a path, or click [...] to navigate to the destination location. You can specify an existing
location or create a new folder.
5 Click Next.
6 In the Publish Tool Catalog - Step 3 of 4 dialog box, specify the location for any dependent files.
You can enter a path, or click [...] to navigate to the destination location. You can specify an existing
location or create a new folder.
Dependent files contain information referenced by the tools; for example, style information. If you select
the option Automatically move (or copy) tool dependent files into the above folder to be referenced by
the publish catalog, the feature attempts to copy all of the dependent files referenced in the catalog to the
dependent file location you specify. If you do not select this option, you must verify that the files are
already present in the dependent location. If you select the option Report invalid catalog references, the
feature generates a report of any dependent files it cannot locate.

tool dependent files into the above folder to be referenced by the publish catalog.
8 Click Report invalid catalog references to generate an HTML file containing any dependent files that were
not found, and then click Next.

Then… If users will…
Click Directly from the location provided. access the catalog directly from the network location you
specify
Click From an http:// site or mapped drive, and enter the
location name. access the catalog from an alternate or aliased location
10 To make the catalog read-only, select Set items in catalog to be read-only.
11 To prevent catalog items from refreshing when they are dropped in the workspace, select Set items in
catalog to not be refreshable when drag/dropped into the workspace, and click Finish.
Individual users can specify the location of dependent files, such as styles for tools, on the AEC Content tab in the
Options dialog box. The variable %AECCONTENT_DIR% is used for tool-dependent file references. This variable is
updated to use the path specified. For example, <Style href=”%AECCONTENT_DIR%\<DoorStyles\DoorStyles.dwg”/>.
For more information, see “
Changing the AEC Content Settings ” on page 117.
