About Working With Part Data in the Tree View

When you work with part data in the tree view of Catalog Editor, the functionality available to you depends upon the type of part data that you select.

You can cut, copy, paste, rename, and move chapters and part families. You can also insert new chapters, and copy and paste part data between catalogs. When you copy and paste a chapter, Catalog Editor copies and pastes the entire chapter including its part families. You can rename the chapter or part family when you paste it into another catalog or accept the predefined (default) name.
