How do I configure the software to use an existing catalog?
Users often need to configure the software to use a catalog created by someone else, such as a downloaded manufacturer catalog, their standard corporate catalog, or a catalog from a client or vendor.
Notes:
Catalog folders are often kept in the promis-e Data folder or Substation Data folder but can be located elsewhere.
It is possible to add more than one catalog path.
A catalog path is also added to the configuration when a catalog is imported and when a catalog is created.
When there are duplicate symbol names in different catalogs, the symbol definition in the catalog that is highest in the Catalog Paths list will be used. Similarly for macros, families, and title blocks. Change catalog priority by moving it higher or lower in the Catalog Paths list using the up and down arrow buttons.
