1.3.2. Create new catalog

You can create a completely new catalog. To do this, click on the context menu command Add new catalog under Workspace -> Catalogs.

-> The same-named dialog box opens.

Enter at least the catalog name and confirm with OK.

The catalog is created with the categories Attributes, Products and Structure.

  • Attributes (class characteristics) correspond to table variables (in LinkDB or attribute table) in PARTsolutions

    Detailed information on the attributes view [Attributes] can be found at Section 1.3.4, “ Attributes " category”.

  • Products correspond in PARTsolutions table rows (possibly versions of the same component or different parts)

    Detailed information on the product view [Products] can be found at Section 1.3.5, “Category "Products "”.

  • Structure

    You create the classes under Structure:

    • Classes match directories in PARTsolutions.

    • Leaf classes (classes without subclasses) match projects in PARTsolutions.

    Detailed information on the creation of the catalog structure can be found under Section 1.3.6, “ Structure " category”.
