The Hexagon PPM CADWorx Structure Editor views, edits, and creates catalog data for steel libraries loaded with CADWorx Structure Editor. The Structure Editor also imports legacy data, libraries, and Excel data tables.

Your project administrator needs to review and update the catalog (.scat) and project (.sprj) file in the Structure Editor before modeling begins.

Catalog File

Contains the materials, and data tables information for steel members in CADWorx Structure Editor. This is a .scat file, located in [Product Folder]\Structure\Library, and can only be accessed through the Structure Editor. The catalog file works in conjunction with the project (.sprj) file to allow CADWorx Structure Editor to build models.
