Custom catalog - Adding a component

To add a component:

1. Click Wizard tab > Modify Molds panel > Component.
2. In the Choose a Component dialog, click Manage custom catalogs to display the options.
3. Locate the appropriate destination folder in the Custom Catalogs.
4. Select a component from a standard catalog, or an existing custom catalog.
5. Drag the selected component into the custom catalog as shown below:

   

   When a custom component is dragged from one custom catalog to another, the component is moved. To copy a component and leave the original untouched, hold down the Ctrl key and drag the component.

   The details of the component are displayed under Manage custom catalogs.

   

Tip: You can also select Copy an existing component and use the Destination folder and Source component options to create the component.
6. Enter a BOM Catalog Name to be displayed for the custom component in the Bill of Materials.
7. Modify the Code Name as required. Any change you make appears in the Custom Catalogs tree.

   

8. Leave Order Code blank to display the default order code.

   Alternatively, customise the Order Code in one of the following ways:

   • Add a fixed Code Name. If you added FK61, all sizes of that component would have FK61 as the order code.
   • Add a combination of a fixed and variable code. The variable part of the code uses the dimension parameters to create a unique code for each row.

     For example: FK61 %L% x %M% x %S% would produce the following order codes.

     

   • Select Edit order codes in Excel to edit the order code from within a spreadsheet.
9. Click OK to close the Choose a component dialog. The Component Wizard is opened in the normal way.
10. Click Select from the Dimensions options in the Component Wizard. The customized catalog and order codes are displayed.
