Category definition example for TopSolid’Planner (The user category file must be in user config or group):

There is 4 different category ( Component, Matter , Sub-component, Document) ( Look to the official documentation for more information). Use the topcategory_ext.cfg to create your own category file.

The first line declare the category

The second line add the components to this category, you can use filter of Standard, Family, Type and variant, you can use also the symbol * to filter the selection like a search in Windows.

The lines starting with a # are comments they are just useful to help

#The next line is the way to define a Component category, you can create as many category as you want, do not use spaces in the Name.
#In green the value must be the same ( the blue value is the translation of the name you will see in planner (You can use the same value it’s easier). The last column For Display can have 2 values 1 or 0 if you want to display the MAT or SUB categories in the catalog tree in the planner use 1.
