By default, all available style types are selected. Use the Select All and Clear All buttons as necessary.
8 Click OK.
A progress bar in the application status bar informs you of the progress of the catalog generation. This can
take a few moments for a large catalog.
NOTE Each category and each palette is created in its own ATC file. The category and palette ATC files are stored
in the Palettes or Categories subfolders within the folder where the new catalog is created.
After creating a new catalog, you can add it to your Content Browser library, as described in “ Adding an
Existing Tool Catalog to Your Catalog Library ” on page 87.
Adding Tools from Content Drawings to a Tool Catalog
Use this procedure to add tools from one or more drawings to an existing catalog.
WARNING Converting large numbers of tools can slow down your computer considerably. Depending on your processor
and RAM equipment the conversion process can take a long time and the application may appear to be non-responsive. To
avoid this, do not convert more than 3000 tools in one Tool Catalog Generator session. Instead, break up the source drawings,
and use multiple instances of Tool Catalog Generator to achieve the conversion.
1 Click CAD Manager menu
➤
Tool Catalog Generator.
NOTE If the CAD Manager menu is not visible in your menu bar, click Window menu

2 Under Catalog, select Add to an existing catalog.
3 Enter the name and the path of the catalog.
4 Click Append to Catalog and select Ignore Duplicate Styles if you want existing styles from being overwritten
by styles with the same name and file path from the appended drawing.
If you clear Ignore Duplicate Styles, existing styles are overwritten with styles from the appended drawing
if they have the same name and file path.
5 If you want to overwrite the existing catalog, click Overwrite Catalog.
This deletes the whole catalog and replaces it with the palettes, categories, and tools from the source
drawing(s).
WARNING You should use that option with great caution, as it will delete the complete existing catalog. If you
just want to overwrite tools with their up-to-date versions from a content drawing, select Append to Catalog
instead, and verify that Ignore Duplicate Styles is cleared.
