After selecting a standard part (Part Catalog) from a norm part of the standard library can be part of a submodel. <b>Creating standard part -</b> In "CAD" main function mode, select the function "M Catalog Model". The middle mouse button in the graphics window brings up a browser; Select a standard part or a standard parts catalog (Button "<<---") Move as submodel, press the right mouse button to save. The following line of code is generated : M # = CTLG <b> Create Catalog</b> Creates a new standard part library. The file name is freely selectable. Delete Catalog Deleting a standard part library. <b> Modifying a Catalog</b> This allows an additional Parts Catalog to be created in a will. Select a standard part library, then with a modification editor. All standard parts libraries are located in the CATALOG (). A standard part library is a text file. The file name must have extention ".ctlg" Each line of a standard part library defines a standard part. The lines starting with '#' are comment lines. The standard definition of a part consists of: Part (name), (Symbolic Model Base Directory / Base Model Name), (Parameters) Part Name: The name of the standard part, max. 64 characters. Symbolic Model Base Directory: The symbolic path of the base model; see Standards / Directories Base Model name: The base model (Type. Gcad) Parameters: Any gCAD3D parameters are separated by semi-colons ';' These codes are in the base model by "CALL CTLG" loaded.
