Resource Map  

The chart below is a quick reference of some of the resources included with this application (as of R14). Ways in which these resources are used are described elsewhere in this user guide. Most columns are self-explanatory. Some that may need additional information are explained below.

Controlled by PRM: Whether the resource has an entry in the project resource management file. Usually this is the location of the resource.

NLS: National Language Support (NLS) files contain resource names that can be defined by the user. If you change to another language, for instance, you will need to change the names in the NLS files. In the column below, 'Yes" means that the files have terminology (such as the values of attributes) that needs to be changed if you change NLS files. NLS files are located in the directory: intel_a\resources\msgcatalog.

Units: These files contain units that were defined in the metric system by default. If you choose to go to another system you must modify these files.

Administrator: Files that have "No" against them cannot be modified. Others can be modified as noted.

Depending on the file type, files can be modified using Wordpad (text or XML files), Excel, or within the relevant application itself (CATProduct, catalog or CATDrawing files).
