Catalogs

Catalogs store standard components, which you can select to add to your model or assembly. Product-specific catalogs are supported.

Note: The availability of some product-specific catalogs is license-dependent.

Toolmaker supports mold components from the following catalog suppliers:

Crusteel	Danly	DME - Europe (both Euro and D-M-E Standards)
DME - North America	DMS	Futaba
Hales	Hasco	Kishin
LKM	Meusburger	MISUMI
PCS	Pedrotti	Polimold
Progressive	Rabourdin	VAP
Sideco	Strack	Unbrako (metric and imperial)

You can also create custom catalogs to:

• Group together frequently used components. A custom catalog may contain components from several different manufacturers.
• Rename standard components. The underlying geometry of the component and link to the manufacturer is unaffected; the component inherits any change to the manufacturer catalog component.
• Customize components with your own dimensions, order codes and names. These components can then be used in the Component Wizard.

To manage custom catalogs:

1. Select Wizard tab > Mode panel > Toolmaker On/Off to run Toolmaker.
2. Click Wizard tab > Modify Molds panel > Component Wizard.
3. Click Manage custom catalogs to display the options.

   

Tip: Click to close the Tree view options on the Component Wizard dialog. This will minimise scrolling.
4. Use the options to:
   • Locate an existing catalog.
   • Create a new custom catalog.
