Setting	Description
Delete	This option deletes the ELEC_CATALOG_PATH from the Workset.cfg file.
Value	This contains the path to the location(s) where the catalogs are stored. More than one location can be defined by using a delimiter (;) between the different location paths.
Catalog Paths	This section lists the paths to the catalogs. The direction arrows can be used to move catalogs up or down in the list. This will determine the search order for the catalogs when placing a symbol. The icon opens the Create Catalog dialog letting you create a new catalog within the defined catalog directory. If logged into a ProjectWise managed workspace the default path will point to the default location of the catalogs in the ProjectWise datasource.
