I have a type catalog family for some CYA notes. It inserts the correct one the first time but no more after that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your family of notes is loading all the types here correctly and I am able to swap from one note to another using the Properties dialog's type selector. No catalog showed up, but it's not required anyway.

Why would you need a catalog if all the types are already created in the family editor? It´s either one or the other, either you do types in the catalog, or types in the family, but why both?

I would like them to be in the catalog but could not figure out how to do it being parameters don't flex and there not the exact same.

I think your catalog file is correct. The family file does not need types. To get your catalog to display, make sure that:

1) You Insert the annotation family in the project by doing > Annotate > Symbol > Load Family.
...and
2) When the catalog shows up, select all the types on the list, before you click OK.

See illustration.
