The catalog is a collection of libraries which is intended to simplify access to project-relevant objects. The catalog is part of a definable Design environment which, in a project-related manner, can be set up, saved and recalled at any time. If you have not set up any Design environment, a template library (ath_template.olbx) is loaded into the catalog.
This dialog box is used to gain access to the objects brought together in the catalog. It facilitates the import of objects into the document with additional options for viewing, parameters and object content.
Dialog box Assembly catalog Infill
db_ath_catalog
Dialog box section Current drawing
In the dialog box section Current drawing all objects in the current document are listed in a tree structure. Folder names are identified with +/- and can be expanded or reduced by clicking on them.
Filter Controls the display of objects to provide a more clear representation.
With bar assemblies reference objects are masked out when you activate the filter. With the filter switched off reference objects are identified with a point before the name.
Exception: Reference objects are not masked if they are used in a drawing as a section or bar!
With semi-finished products, including Membrane, Insulation, etc., objects are masked out which cannot be used in the superordinate dialog box. Example: A membrane cannot be used in the Dialog box Insulation, so with an active filter no insulation is shown.
Purge Removes these objects completely from the document.
Dialog box section Display
The middle dialog box section provides the preview of selected objects.
The other display options offered depend on the object type and offer various views of or onto the object.
[<] Copies the selected object from the library into the drawing.
Select the relevant superordinate folder to copy its complete content.
If objects with the same name already exist in the target structure, a query appears. Here, you can decide whether the object(s) are to be overwritten or not.
Ref Opens the Dialog box References, where you can check in which component the selected one is present as reference.
Test Opens a separate dialog box for testing available parameters. This option is only available for objects with extended settings.
Remove Deletes the current assembly from the list.
Rename Releases the input field where you can change the assembly name.
