[Note] Note

The training documents for eCATALOGsolutions contain a sketch and a Table with the dimensioning parameters.

In the print version you can find this as a foldout image before the chapter.

If you have the document as Online Help, you can find the foldout image in the start menu as "eCATALOGsolutions Training foldout".

[Note] Note

There are many user examples in the training catalog. In the available documentation the corresponding examples are referred to.

More information about the installation of the training catalog can be found under eCATALOGsolutions Programme.
