Background

Rebuild Catalog causes the software to scan the selected catalog's folder to correct discrepancies between the catalog's database (catalog.mdb) and the contents of the catalog's folder.

This tool can be used to stop content (symbols, macros, families, and title blocks) from appearing as available for use in the software when the corresponding files do not exist due to some problem or external operation. It can be used to make content available for use after files are copied into the catalog's folder from another catalog's folder outside of the software.
