Title: Adding Elements To Project
Post by: garystan on August 20, 2011, 03:58:18 PM

       Hi everybody :

                  I opened the Catalog, and saw a Column (in Exterior Accessories) that I wanted to add to my project.   How do I get that column from the Catalog into my project ?     I know it's a matter of   "adding "  it to my project,  but that's as far as I get.

Hi garystan,

Just select the column in the catalog at the right of the screen (pointing with the mouse) --> drag and drop the element in the project

    Draftcad :

                    I might've given you the wrong information.     When I clicked on FILE>CATALOG>EXTERIOR ACCESSORIES>COLUMNS.  After that I found the column that I wanted to use.   But, it's not in the other CATALOG (on the right side of the screen).   I'd like to be able to copy it to there.

Hi garystan,

No problem.
In order to place the elements, use the tabs and menus. (see attached)
In this case --> Go to the landscape tab --> Exterior Accessories --> As you click on this icon, the library will appear on the right pane --> I chose "on location" --> select the column (or other accessory) on the right pane --> Drag and drop

It is only possible to connect to one catalogue at once, so if you saw a column in the Elements Manager under File>Catalogue>Exterior Accessories, then it has to be in the right hand panel catalogue since they are one and the same catalogue. I suspect you are looking in the wrong section.

Try the Catalogue Search (top of right panel) if you cannot find it.
