Background

Components Center is a cloud service that will provide you with the latest components, manufacturing catalog objects that can be used in the design, structure, and operational workflows. In the Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, you can place cell-based equipment from the component center and create your own organization-defined catalogs.

This article describes the procedure to place the cell-based Equipment from the Components Center.
