New Catalogue

CARIS HPD Publications Module

Create a new catalogue for organizing publication content.

You can build a new catalogue from a base catalogue or import an existing XML catalogue into a base catalogue. A sample XML catalogue named publication_catalogue.xml is located in ...\Program Files\CARIS\HPD\<version>\system\PubConfig\SampleCatalogue.

A base catalogue contains read-only objects, attributes and other components and cannot be edited. But you can use this catalogue to derive your own components and save these to a new catalogue.
