Use custom catalogs to store and reuse items that you create in Cap and Worksheet in one file. Custom catalogs are project files that capture, manage, and reuse furniture specifications and typical workstations.
As with standard catalogs, drill down to the custom catalog. The difference is that you can create these catalogs and select the products to be included.
Among the benefits of custom catalogs are:
-
You can share the catalog with other users by saving it on a network drive, giving people access to specials and Cap standards (typicals).
-
You can add finishes to items in a Worksheet in custom catalog. When you place the symbols from the catalog they will already be optioned when you use them in your drawing.
Custom catalogs include three types of information.
-
Individual product
-
Groups of products or Cap standards (typicals)
-
Specials
You can use custom catalog information from Worksheet or from Cap. For more details about creating and managing custom catalogs, see the Custom catalogs in the Worksheet help.
To add an item to a custom catalog from Cap, see Add a symbol to a custom catalog.
