[Note] Note

If entire directories are to be linked, conduct this change in the dir.def file.

Example of use:

All parts that come up frequently in a catalog (e.g., screws, accessories, etc.), are deposited in a "common pool".

This directory is normally invisible (Hide folder). Projects from many other directories are linked in the "commonpool" directory.

The following scenarios are possible:

  • All multiply used parts in one central folder

  • A central collection folder for all parts that could come up in the entire catalog. In each of the chapters there is a collection folder for parts that only come up in this chapter.

[Note] Note

This method is recommended for all catalog projects!

This minimizes the size of the catalog and results in more clarity.

Compare Links to parts under Section 4.8.3, “Tabbed page 3D project ”.
