At the launch page you can select an existing file from "Recent Documents" or start a new drawing by left-clicking the "+" tab to the right of the "Start" tab.
By selecting the "+" tab, you will create a new document that automatically loads a preset template file. With the new document started, go ahead an take the time to save it.
Select the "CADWorx Plant I" tab in the ribbon. Notice at the top I have my own work space settings loaded (J-MATT). I would recommend you having your own as well. Let me know if you need help with that.
Then select the "Setup" Icon in the top left portion of the panel.
In the resulting dialog box, select the "Load" button, bottom right, to load the CADWorx configuration file. This file contains all the paths needed to correctly load the catalogs. It must be loaded first before you can load the catalog.
Navigate to the location of your CADWorx Specification files. (Altura Designers, please see my Slack post showing where our files are located.)
Each folder contains the catalog information for each company. Select the company you are working for then select the .CFG file found in that folder, then select "Open".
At the "Plant Setup" dialog select the "Apply and Close" button near the bottom.
Remember, this loaded the configuration file only, which has all the proper paths the menu needs to function. Next you will load the menu. If your "SPEC View" Palette is not open already, type "SPECVIEW" into the command line. In the top left corner of the palette, select the "Set Specification and Size" icon.
In the resulting dialog box, select the "Browse" button near the top. It will open at the proper location, because that location was set by the configuration file you loaded earlier. Select the .PRJ file and select "Open".
Wait a few moments for the information to load. You can then select the Specification, Main Size, and the Reducing Size you need, then select "OK". Note, you will need to select these in order for the catalog to load.
Your SPEC View Palette is now populated with the catalog information.
Please ask if you have questions regarding this walk through.
Be helpful.
