Custom catalog.mdb and pinlist problem

[Anonymous]

I don't think it really matters for my question, but my company is is the process of migrating from ACADE 2010 to 2012.

I'm looking for a good way to share all of the catalog data across a network.  I've read the helps and I know how to set up the wd.env file to point to a shared folder on our network.  I've also seen how the projects can be set up to have a custom secondary catalog.  I like this idea because it allows us to keep an untouchable default_cat.mdb file on a locked server while being able to write new catalog data to the secondary catalog.

The problem I have is with the pinlist data.  The pinlist data is stored in the default_cat.mdb file.  It can also live in the secondary one as well, but the editing tool only points to the default.  Is there away to point the editing tool to a secondary pinlist database?

I have this same problem with the footprint look up. Is there any way to point the footprint lookup editor to a different file?

Thanks!
