We are having a little issue with the new catalog browser that im hoping someone can help us out with. When we go to insert, for example, a push button or any item, we get a file not found pop up. We can select "ok" and then the command line reads "Create a blank copy now (Y/N)?"
We can then select Y and the symbol will be pulled in.
What would cause this pop up?

Problem Solved
I am a student who has installed autocad licensed 2015 students. I have installed all the brand possible (SCHNEIDER, WAGO, SIEMENS, ecc) in the catalog but then everytime I call the catalog I see only the brands AB, ABB, TELEMECANIQUE. WHY?
Hello Fabio,
Can you open "default_cat.mdb" in access > Open CB table and check if scheneider Electric contents are in there ?
Thanks for the reply. I realized now that in my computer does not have the full MS ACCESS software but only the "Microsoft ACCESS database engine". This afternoon i install the software, when I have completed the installation I'll write a message here. Bye
I have installed ACCESS, I opened the file default_cat.mdb inside the list there are only AB, ABB, TELEMECANIQUE, no other brand of components. I need especially SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, WAGO, SIEMENS components
It can be advantageous to have Microsoft Access installed but be careful not to change the structure of a database or table.
It almost sounds as if you don't have write permissions to the default_cat.mdb. Is it located on a network? If so, the one you installed originally might be the one getting updated. It would be in the My Documents path on your local drive.
When you go through Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and update AutoCAD Electrical do you see all manufacturers checked? If so, this is a clue that the database you are updating is not the same one you are using with your projects. There is a way to solve this, if in fact that is the issue. Of course you can just copy the local database and overwrite the one on the network.
P.S. This should really be a new discussion. This one has already been marked as solved.
My ACE are installed with stand alone license. Nobody open or modify defalut_cat.mdb,
In "Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and update AutoCAD Electrical" i see every manufactures and every manufactured was cheked (take a look on my photo attached here).
P.S.: for me this problem is unsolved
ACE point to C:\Users\Dell_WSt3500\Documents\Acade 2015\AeData\it-IT\Catalogs\default_cat.mdb
See the image attached please. In default_cat.mdb there are only AB, ABB, TELEMECANIQUE manufacturer, there is another database in ACE that i can point to?
in the image my C:\users , DellWSt3500 and public.
My ACE point to default_cat.mdb but in this file there is only AB, ABB and telemecanique records. So i think i need complete default_cat.mdb that contains every manufatures.
I try to add many records in default_cat manually, i see this record in ACE window catalog, so the mechanism is ok i think.
Actuallly ACE pointed to C:\Users\Dell_WSt3500\Documents\Acade 2015\AeData\it-IT\Catalogs\default_cat.mdb
I have installed autocad electrical in July 2014 2015 then ACE tells me that there is no need for SP1 because the current version is already up to date. Do you remember that I am a student and I have student license? This is the problem maybe?
I didn't catch that you are a student. There may be a limitation for the student version, since it is made available to give a student a sample experience.
the ultimate request please: can you verify that there is a real limitation for student version? when you can, I 'm not hurry
