Adding an Existing Tool Catalog to Your Catalog Library

Use this procedure to add an existing tool catalog to your catalog library.

Adding a tool catalog to a catalog library does not physically move or copy any files. Instead, a pointer to the catalog’s location is added to the catalog library. If you add a tool catalog that resides on another computer, and then a tool in that catalog is updated, you always reference the latest version of the tool in the catalog library.

Before beginning this procedure, it is a good idea to verify that the tool catalog you will be adding does exist in the location you will be specifying.

1. Click to display the catalog library.
2. Click to create a catalog.
3. In the Add Catalog dialog box, select Add An Existing Catalog Or Website.
4. Enter the location of the tool catalog you want to add, or click Browse and select a catalog.

   Tool catalog files typically have the extension .atc.

5. Click OK.
