Catalogue block manager

The Catalogue block manager is a tool that provides for all the possible operations related to the definition or editing of catalogue blocks. The user may to:

• define a new catalogue block,

• select an already defined catalogue block and insert it repeatedly into the project,

• choose an already defined catalogue block, modify it as required and insert the modified variant into the project.

The Catalogue block manager is one of the managers integrated in SCIA Engineer and its layout and operation are identical to other SCIA Engineer Managers.

The Catalogue block manager is open when function Catalogue block is activated. It may represent one of the steps in the General procedure for the definition of a new catalogue block.

Generally, there are several ways to open the Catalogue block manager:

• Tree menu function Library > Catalogue blocks.

• Tree menu function Structure > Catalogue blocks.

• Menu function Libraries > Catalogue blocks.

Note: Which way is actually chosen depends on two factors: (i) where (what part of the program) is the manager called from, and (ii) habits of a particular user.
