Adding an Existing Tool Catalog to Your Catalog Library
Use this procedure to add an existing tool catalog to your catalog library.
Adding a tool catalog to a catalog library does not physically move or copy
any files. Instead, a pointer to the catalog’s location is added to the catalog
library. If you add a tool catalog that resides on another computer, and then
a tool in that catalog is updated, you always reference the latest version of the
tool in the catalog library.
1 Click Home tab ➤ Build panel ➤ Tools drop-down ➤ Content
