Tools for managing manufacturers' catalogues
In the "Project" section of the main toolbar, you will find the options for managing manufacturer product catalogues so that they can be added to the project:

Clicking on this option opens a window showing the available manufacturer catalogues.
Download catalogues
The following options are displayed for each manufacturer:
- Download
