Ca Core Catalog Vs Bonus

[4hotshoez]

What is the difference?

 

Does CA sort them out?

 

I downloaded the Core and some manufacturer's catalogs, but how do I get Bonus material?

[lbuttery]

Core comes with Chief

 

users with active SSA can download Bonus and Manuf

 

Bonus is on same website with manuf - use the selection dropdowns

I'm trying X6 too and some libraries are free , some not , they appear to be updating and adding libraries now X6 is released and the initial flurry of needed tech support is over. at the moment it seem the free libraries are the older ones which ,when on the download site appear to have a white background , grey are the ones that require SSA to download. 

 

EDIT: I am finding I need to open/use download button each Library to confirm SSA or not as not all the Library Icons are translucent /appear white to tell that way.

It would be nice if there was an option to automatically download , at least categories of the library same as the Core , this is time consuming....

How do I get manufacturer's catalog items/objects if they are not in the CA catalog library online to download?

 

Is there a process to get them into CA and make them catalog items?

via the import DBX in any of the formats listed , ie the same way you import .skp files  but maybe 3DS/DAE/DWG/DXF etc.
