The Exchange Catalog tool was introduced in Promis.e and Bentley Substation V8i SELECTseries 5.
It is used to replace all the symbols in the entire project, or just the Schematic Mode symbols in a project, with symbols of the same names found in the Catalog Paths of a specified setup configuration. Symbols without a definition found in the catalogs are not replaced.
Uses for the Exchange Catalog tool include:
From the Tasks or ribbon area, select Review/Revise > *Replace > Exchange Catalog
* is used to denote a menu selection that is not necessary for some versions or platforms.
