Catalog Support Folder Files Missing

[_Jeff_Roy_]

I created a batch of custom valves on a network drive today as this is the location where we store all of our shared specs, catalogs, templates, etc. for accessibility across the organization. Within the test project I use, the valves work fine. However, when I add these valves (catalog parts) to a spec in another project, I get the dreaded "Can't find symbol for specified part." Typically when I create custom parts, either a new .dwg and .png get created in the "200" and "DWG" folder under the catalog support folder that matches the name of my spec. Normally if I run in to this issue, I just make sure these new files are copied to the appropriate folder on my machine so the software can find them. However, there are no files in the Catalog Support Folder that show a modified date from today. I created all the custom blocks and and added them to the catalog today, saving my progress, so the modified date would definitely be today. 

Any tips on how I might locate these files? They have to be somewhere because, again, these new valves are working fine in the test environment. 

Thanks!

In the spec editor you can export the item to excel to see the location of each size

If your catalog was based on a stock catalog it sometimes goes in those folders. For example for ASME valves it might end up in Cpak ASME instead of the normal spot.

@quan_hm Thank you, this was extremely helpful! I have only ever exported specs to Excel for bulk editing and was not aware this functionality was available for catalogs. Being able to locate the specific dwg files for blocks associated with custom parts will be very useful.
