It used to be that you goto the Windows Programs and Features and there you could add/remove manufacturer libraries from AE. It appears this has changed with AE 2022. When I click "Change" the window that pops up only has this

All are included in the acade 2022 as a default.  You don't need to select them manually. I just double-checked my installation, all libs and project files are included as a default.

The catalogs may load with ACADE 2022 but these do not appear to be acceptable for the electromechanical links at Inventor 2022. Has anyone uncovered the answer on this problem?

Can you describe the problem? What doesn't work with Inventor?

I receive an error that identifies "The catalog database format is
incorrect" under the Location View of a simple two terminal ring wire.

I have both Inventor 2022 from which the 3D "#6 Terminal Ring 12 - 10 AWG"
was selected from Content Center

And the same selection item is valid at ACADE with "generic" chosen at the
ACADE side.

Both software are recently installed 2022 versions with the latest catalogs
from subscription downloaded and added to Vault Basic Content Center.



I am glad I tried the link with a simple assembly rather than attempting a
large wiring diagram.

Just thought I'd try myself..

But I got this. Which is strange, as it's working with AutoCAD Electrical 2022...

I've just given up on Autodesk making this work...

If the manufacturer libraries are already installed, why can I only see Allen Bradley in the component list?

What version AutoCAD Electrical are you running?
If you're running pre-2022, you have to install more manufacturers manually:
