Downloading catalogs

  • On the Catalog update tabbed page you can easily view currently available catalogs and classifications and download/upload desired ones.

  • Catalogs and classes are displayed bundled in a rubric.

  • Catalogs for which the user does not own a valid license,are displayed in a separate rubric. Thus the user can check whether a download is useful or not.

  • Also the list field Sorting helps providing a good overview:

    For sorting the following options are available:

    • Catalogs

    • Categories

    • Languages

    BEFORE the installation you can see a precise breakdown of change details when downloading the catalog and not immediately installing. On this it is important to deactivate the option Install after download. Detailed information on this can be found under Section 1.3.3.3, “ Before the catalog installation Check and Compare ”.

    AFTER the installation you can see a detailed breakdown of the change information in PARTdataManager under Part selection -> History -> Installed catalogs. See Section 1.3.3.1.5, “Check project changes in detail (after the installation) ”.

  2. Under Versions, select one of the following options:

    • Keep all

      Optionally and not absolutely necessary.

      For example, you can also select “Number of versions >=2“

    • Only keep the new version

      Not recommended

    • Number of versions [2] (default)

      Please regard to set a value of 2 or higher.

      Especially for updates with LinkDB connection this is urgently recommended.[2]

    Optionally activate Save original files of new version.

    More information can be found under Section 1.3.3.4, “ Catalog versions ”.

  3. Carry out catalog selection

    Now you can check the desired catalogs for an update.

    The estimated download time for the current selection is displayed on the left side under the respective menu item.

    The view changes to the Download tabbed page.

    [Note] Note

    Optionally, you can deactivate Install after download.

    When you do not want to install the downloaded catalogs in the same course they remain in the "temp" directory which has been defined under Settings (Welcome tabbed page -> Settings -> PARTupdate assistant -> Temporary directory).

    Thus you have the opportunity to switch to Category Offline and to use the Check and Compare functions. Also see Section 1.3.3.3, “ Before the catalog installation Check and Compare ”.

    Up to installation the catalog is displayed with a blue icon in the catalogs listing.

    [Note] Note

    Copy after successful installation

    When checking the option determine a target path via search button .... The original CIP file is saved in this target path. Possibly you would like to install an older catalog version later by any reasons (testing purposes e.g.).

    [Note] Note

    If you did not select "cadenas_thread.cip" the following message appears:

    New thread definitions available

    It is recommended to perform this update or other catalogs might not work correctly.

    Select "Yes", in order to select the definitions and to start the catalog update, "No" in order to start the catalog update without the definitions or click "Cancel" in order to cancel the catalog update.
