To Add a New Catalog
1. Open the main catalog file.
2. Add the name of the catalog to the #screws section, the #pins section, or to both sections.
3. Optionally, add a label and help text for your catalog to the library translation files. If no translation exists, then the name from the main catalog file is used.
4. Optionally, add a catalog icon.
5. Create a new fastener instance catalog file with the name of your catalog.
6. Open the file and add the keywords you need for this catalog.
7. Add the names of the fastener data files to the related keywords.
In this example, the catalog mm-hv-custom is added to the #screws section and then a translation is added for it. In the fastener instance catalog file several fastener data files are added.
Add mm-hv-custom to the main catalog file.
