You can use a BMP, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF file for your graphic. The graphic image is displayed at 90 × 120 pixels. If you specify an image of a different size, the image is scaled to fit. Note: The graphic file you select is copied into the tool catalogs image folder.
   Change the title displayed beneath the tool catalogs graphic image in the catalog library	Enter a new title. You can also right-click the catalog and click Rename<catalog_name>.
   Change the descriptive text that displays when you move the pointer over the tool catalogs graphic image	Enter a new Description.
   Change the tool catalog file or website	Enter the new file in File or Target, or click Browse to select a tool catalog file.
   Change or specify the HTML file that displays when the tool catalog is opened	Enter the new HTML file in Cover Page, or click Browse to select a cover page.
   Change the publisher of the tool catalog	Enter a new Publisher name.

   Define that tools and palettes from this catalog should be automatically linked to the Content Browser when dropped onto the tool palettes of Autodesk Civil 3D	Select Link Items When Added To Workspace.
   Define that tools and palettes from this catalog should not retain a link to the Content Browser when dropped onto the tool palettes	Clear Link Items When Added To Workspace. Inserting tools without retaining a link to Content Browser would be the right choice if you want to make changes to a tool in Autodesk Civil 3D that should not overwritten by the tool properties in Content Browser; also, unlinked tools create a better general performance in Autodesk Civil 3D.
