Overview
You can save an assembly to your catalogue so it's available for reuse in future estimates. There are two ways to do this: a quick save, or a more organized save that lets you choose where the assembly lands in your catalogue.
Before You Begin
- Have the assembly you want to save built and ready in your estimate.
Option 1: Quick Save
- Click the six buttons icon, then click Add to Catalogue.
Alternatively:
- Highlight the square for the assembly, then click Add to Catalogue.
Option 2: Organized Save
- Click the three cubes icon.
- Click Production.
- Choose where you want the assembly to be saved in your catalogue.
- Choose an existing category to save the assembly to, or create a new category in your catalogue as needed.
- Click Add to Catalogue at the top right.
Tips & Best Practices
- Organize as You Go: Use the Production option and categories to keep your catalogue organized rather than relying only on the quick save.
Why This Matters
- Saving assemblies to your catalogue lets you reuse them in future estimates without rebuilding them from scratch.
- Choosing a category when saving keeps your catalogue organized and easier to search later.
Summary
You can save an assembly to your catalogue either with a quick save using the six buttons icon or a highlighted square, or with a more organized save through the three cubes icon and Production, where you can choose or create a category before adding it to your catalogue.
