    Default Adding Content to Catalog

    I am struggling with adding the content from Autodesk Seek to integrate them with my catalogs. They give you an xml file the dwg and the thumbnail but I'm not sure how to properly integrate them into my catalogs to be used. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am using AutoCAd MEP 2009 and 2008. Thanks.

    Did you regenerate your catalog?

    Also, try checking your validation results.

    Command: LaunchCatalogEditor

    Then open your catalog and regenerate/test it.

    The steps that I performed were:
    1. Added files to appropriate folders on my c: drive where the rest of the content is stored
    2. Regenerated Catalog
    3. Checked for content on my tool palate.

    I think my step #1 is where I am off. There has to be a more sophisticated way of importing those files so they jive.

    You did it right (well, at least you did it the way I would do it, which isn't necessarily right) - try checking your validation results and see if you get any errors. Typical errors are duplicate part IDs, duplicate part names, and bad.xml code.
