You'll have to create them manually. Neither Autodesk or Mitsubishi will do this for you.

Here's a video showing how to do this:

But how am i suppose to add all those products mannually, there is a whole new family of products that's missing in the catalog and adding them mannually would require weeks, are you sure there is no other way. its quite a nightmare to add all of them and there are not just plc's that missing some new vfd products are also misssing. so plz give me better way

  1. You create only those you need
  2. You can copy a lot between the different modules
  3. Pay someone to do it for you

Unfortunately, the effort is totally on us. Autodesk gives us the tools to update catalogs with new products, but they won't do it themselves. And manufacturers really have no interest in doing it for them; if they had their way, you'd be using the software belonging to them or to one of their business partners, not ACADE.

 

This is the way it's been with ACADE for many many years. You'd have to use different software, if you wanted to just automatically have all products everywhere as soon as they come out.
