Catalog sets

[Guest Wim]

does anybody know where the file of the `catalog sets` is stored?. I want to keep my own `set` after a new release or exchange it with other users.Thx

I've asked this question before to IC. I believe the answer is they gave me is that they are stored in the Windows registry.

 

It would be nice if they were stored as a file so you could share them or set them up easy after installing.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0002C523-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\CatalogSets\

 

 

I don't know if we hard code that classid in the installer or not so it may be different on your system. The way I found this was:

 

1) Create a new catalog set, give it a very unique name.

2) Run regedit.exe and perform a find on that unique name.

 

Here is the default catalog set:

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0002C523-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\CatalogSets\Default]

"Cat0001"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\shapes.icc"

"Cat0002"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\advshaps.icc"

"Cat0003"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\sheetmtl.icc"

"Cat0004"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\tools.icc"

"Cat0005"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\animatn.icc"

"Cat0006"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\surfaces.icc"

"Cat0007"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\textures.icc"

"Cat0008"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\bumps.icc"

"Cat0009"="C:\\Program Files\\IronCAD\\Catalogs\\colors.icc"

"Count"=dword:00000009

So how do you copy this information in the registry?

Anything in the registry can be exported to an external file and then merged (imported) in the future. In regedit just goto File/Export. Once you have exported the file you can edit it with an ascii text editor such as notepad, then to import it just double click on the .reg file and answer YES to merge.
