Cimatron Catalog Updates

Access: Open this function from the following location:

  • Cimatron Control Panel: Select Start > All Programs > Cimatron > Cimatron Control Panel.

    Select Main Menu > Cimatron Catalog Updates.

Download Mold & Die part catalogs, or update your existing catalogs.

New or updated catalog items are constantly released by Cimatron and uploaded to the server. Once released, the items become immediately available for all Cimatron users, and can be downloaded directly onto your computer.

A Cimatron Provider or Reseller can upload additional catalog items to the server or upload their translated items (these are the same items as released by Cimatron, but with their names translated into the local language).

The Cimatron Catalog Updates function has two levels (or modes) of views; a Higher Level and a Lower Level view. See the example dialogs below.

The Higher Level catalog update mode shows the status of all available catalogs, those already installed on your computer (or your network folder) and those that have not been installed and are available for downloading from the server. This enables you to quickly see how many catalog parts are new, updated (with respect to those previously downloaded), or to download a complete catalog.

The Lower Level catalog update mode shows data for a specific selected catalog. This displays a comparison between the locally installed catalog items (on your computer or your network folder) and the latest catalog items available from the server. You can see which items are new or updated for a specific catalog and selectively download them.

The Catalog Parts Download and Update higher level dialog is displayed. See Updates: Higher Level for detailed information.

 

Lower Level (Specific Catalog) Mode

The Catalog Parts Download and Update lower level dialog is displayed. See Updates: Lower Level for detailed information.
