Entering the Component Catalog Editor Workbench

This first task will show you how to open the Component Catalog Editor workbench.

The only pre-requisite for this task is to have a current Version 5 session running.

From the Start menu, select the Infrastructure -> Catalog Editor command.
The Component Catalog Editor workbench is displayed.

The catalog cannot be modified through Browser capability, so you should use the Catalog Editor to do so.
For example: If the setting Allow family component dynamic resolution is activated, when the Browser will be used, a new component will be created at each instantiation of a component from a Part Family, but the Catalog itself will not be modified to point onto this document. To avoid this, use the Resolve capability in the Catalog Editor.
