MoldDesign Catalog Installation Guide

General
From Cimatron E 7.0, the Cimatron catalogs will be separated from Cimatron E. They will be installed from a separate CD. There are three reasons for this change: Cimatron E7 will support a large number of catalogs. Most of the important part producers are represented in these catalogs. An independent CD will enable several updates before releasing the next E version. The catalogs can easily be installed on Server computers without requiring an E installation.

System Requirements
To view the hardware requirements for Cimatron E Catalogs, refer to the hardware requirements section in the Cimatron E Installation Guide. For the Server Installation you must free 800 MB of disk space.

Installation Layout
1. During the Cimatron E Catalogs installation the catalogs will be installed in the Catalogs directory, as follows: C:\Cimatron\ CimatronE\ \Catalogs \Data \Program (DLLs) \SourceData \Workarea The Server Catalogs will be installed in the following directory: C:\CimatronCatalogs The default product name and path is C:\CimatronCatalogs and can be changed as required.

Installation Scenarios
Two types of installations exist, as follows: 1. Cimatron E Catalogs: The Catalogs folders will be copied to the Catalogs directory, under C:\Cimatron\CimatronE. This location cannot be changed by the user. E7 must be installed before installing the MoldDesign Catalogs. 2. Server Catalogs: This type of installation is recommended for several users working with one catalog only. The Catalogs should be installed on the Server computer. It is not required to install Cimatron E on this computer. The Catalogs folders will be copied by default to new C:\CimatronCatalogs directory. However, if required, the user can select another directory during the installation process. 3. Upgrade Mode: While upgrading from E6.0 to E7.0 the old catalogs will not be updated since the Cimatron E CD does not include the catalogs anymore. In order to update the catalogs, you must install them from the Cimatron MoldDesign Catalogs CD. Both types of Cimatron E7 Catalogs can be upgraded. Cimatron E Catalogs (installed under the Cimatron E directory) cannot be uninstalled separately. They can only be uninstalled as part of the Cimatron E uninstall process. Server Catalogs can be uninstalled separately. When upgrading Catalogs, catalog parts that were created by the user will not be deleted.
