Creating, Renaming and Deleting Catalogs

As your projects evolve and grow, you may need to sort and group related templates. You can create template Catalogs within any library folder. This catalog acts like a file folder and allows you to group related templates.

For example, if you had a collection of templates for the different characters in your project, you could create a catalog for each character, with sub catalogs for specific aspects of the character’s design.

To organize your templates in catalogs:

1. Select a library folder in the left pane of the Library window.

2. [Control]-click in the template section of the Library window and select New Catalog from the pop-up menu. An empty catalog appears in the window with a default name.

3. Type a new name for the catalog or accept the default name. You can change the catalog name at any time.

4. To move or copy an existing template to a catalog, select the template and drag it to the catalog you want.

If you simply drag the template file, Toon Boom Studio moves the selected template.
If you press [Option] while you drag the template file, Toon Boom Studio places a copy of the template in the selected catalog.

5. To create a template in a catalog, select the catalog from the left pane of the Library window and then drag the contents from the Exposure Sheet or Timeline window to the catalog.

6. [Control]-click the catalog you want to rename and select Rename Catalog from the pop-up menu.

7. [Control]-click the catalog you want to delete and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
