As we have a really good update to IRONCAD 2022 through Product Update 1, we would like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to manage your own catalogues in a smooth way.
This tip will of course continue to apply in the future as a convenient way to save different sets of catalogs that you can quickly switch between.
After installing PU1 for v2022, the list of catalogs (*.icc files) to be opened has been "reset" to a default set due to our Swedish default customization which among other things adjusts settings for the program. This is what the list of catalogs looks like, after the PU1 installation:
This means that all the other catalogs that you had opened before the update are now not directly visible in the list of open catalogs. You therefore have to search for them and open them again.
To speed this up, before installing PU1, make sure to create your own list of catalogs you want to use. This will make it easier to add the right set of catalogs in the future, even in new versions.
We therefore recommend using the PROCatalogSet extension under the Add-Ins tab, IronPRO XT group.
Click the Open CatalogSet Manager button on the right.
Here you enter an appropriate name for the list you are creating and then click on the Add New CatalogSet Name button.
Select your CatalogSet in the list and click on the button Add Active Catalogs to CatalogSet. All opened catalogs in IRONCAD's 3D scene are now loaded into the selected CatalogSet.
Delete all catalogs that the system manages itself, so that your CatalogSet contains only your own directory files. These will be added to the default set in the future.
If you want to load other catalog files (*.icc) from your computer, click on the Add Catalog to CatalogSet button and find the file(s) that should also be included in the list.
When the list is finished, it needs to be saved and the tool window can then be closed.
After an installation or update you can run the extension PROCatalogSet again and add the catalogs via the list you created earlier.
Apply with the green Apply button.
