Would it be possible to provide a custom catalog in addition to the master catalog? Anytime I upgrade, I loose the custom components that I have added to or modified in the master catalog of the previous version of Envisioneer. If there were a custom catalog that opened along with the master catalog, any new BIM libraries or custom additions could be maintained in the custom catalog without being over-written by a newer version master catalog. The custom catalog could be copied into a newer version of envisioneer, while being able to use the new master catalog and any of the added features in the new catalog.
If not, could you provide a tutorial on how to search and migrate custom components from an older catalog to a new version master catalog? Or possibly suggest naming conventions to help with a migration.

Hi,
You can export your custom catalog items to the new master catalog using these steps

To get elements from old catalog to new catalog:
Go to file>catalogs>open catalog>select catalog you want to get elements from (Envisioneer 11 catalog)
File>export>bim to catalog>select elements>transfer>ok
Save as (Envisioneer 11 Catalog bim file)
Open the new catalog (go to file>catalogs>open catalog>Envisioneer 13 master)
File>import> bim to catalog >locate file you saved (Envisioneer 11 Catalog bim file)
Select document folder>transfer>ok
