To Move the Catalog Database File

This task is only applicable if you are using Microsoft Access database as your primary source for the catalog information.

1. In Project Manager, right-click the project name and select Settings to find the location of the default_cat.mdb file.
2. Move the file to the desired location.
3. Exit AutoCAD Electrical toolset.
4. Edit the .env file with a text editor like WordPad or Notepad. Use the Settings option on the Project Manager to find the full path.
5. Find the WD_CAT entry. Change the line to point to the new location for the catalog file. For example, you move them to n:/electric/catalogs/ on your network drive. Change this line to: WD_CAT,n:/electric/catalogs/,AutoCAD Electrical toolset catalog file.
6. Save and exit the file.

Note: AutoCAD Electrical toolset looks for a project-specific MDB file first, called <project>_cat.mdb, in the subdirectory of the project.
