Add a symbol to a custom catalog

If you want to add a symbol that you use frequently to a Custom Catalog you can do so from the Explorer pane or from the drawing.

Example - add a chair to a custom catalog

1. Place a chair in your drawing.
   
   

2. Click on the Cap Tools toolbar.
   
   

3. Select the chair.
   
   

4. In the Add to Custom Catalog dialog, select a Custom Catalog (ending with .cc4).
   If you want to create a new Custom Catalog, right-click on Local Projects or a folder under Local Projects and select New, Custom Catalog.
   
   

5. Click Add Part.
   If you selected a standard instead of a part, click Add Standard.
   
   

6. In the Explorer bar's Projects tab, click to see the part listed under the Custom Catalog.
   
   

7. To place a symbol from the Custom Catalog select it and drag it into your drawing.
   
   
   
   

You can add specials (2D or 3D) to the Custom Catalog as well. You are prompted to add the Cap Part to the Catalog during the creation and you can add it using the Add to Custom Catalog command.
