4. Select Source Catalog, say by navigation Non Standard Imperial catalog. Rename it to any logical name, say NS_SIGHT_GLASS_Imperial below. By doing so it will convert the file to destination catalog folder without issue. And chose destination directory to save the converted catalog. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. This will create a new catalog to destination folder.
   
   
6. Open new catalog created after conversion. Check if SIGHT Glass is present.
   
   
7. See image below: 
   
   
   
   
8. Rename it as SIGHT_GLASS and copy table. See image below.
