Product Catalog Link
Copy a product’s specifications and chosen variant onto a supported drawing object.
The Inspector’s Catalog link identifies a Product Catalog product and optional variant. Linking snapshots supported product specifications onto the object; it is not continuous synchronization with future product edits. Product identity and specification data are separate from the object’s price-list pricing link.
Open Catalog link
Select a supported object and open its product controls in the Inspector. If the panel says No products in catalog, add the product in Product Catalog first.
Choose the product
Choose Link to product catalog and search for a saved product or variant. Reusing its details avoids entering common products again in every project. Review the selected identity. If project unit prices are locked, unlock them before changing the priced product or variant, then review its price separately.
Review copied specifications
The link copies supported standard/custom specifications, document references and product identity fields. Variant overrides can change supported specifications or SKU. Applicable direct object fields are filled only when safe to do so; existing hand-entered values are protected. Inspect the object’s actual fields rather than assuming linking overwrote them all.
Check pricing separately
A product link is not the same as selecting a price-list entry for the current tier. Review the object’s cost controls and Cost Table if it needs a material price and labor allowance.
Unlink or refresh deliberately
Use Unlink product to remove the product and variant references. Copied specifications and existing pricing fields remain. Relinking can copy revised product data, but protected direct fields may keep their existing values; review the result instead of expecting a full reset.
