     CATALOG - This function is used to generate standard parts.
     After selecting a standard part (Part Catalog) from a norm part of the standard library can be part of a submodel.

    Using standard-parts:
     In "CAD" main function mode, select the function "Submodels/M CatalogPart".
     Select a standard part or a standard parts catalog.
     Select position, select OK to save.
     The following line of code is generated: "M# = "/.ctlg" .."
     Example:   M28="Profile/6x4_150.ctlg" P (0 0 0) DZ DIY
          Profile.ctlg is the catalogfile,
          6x4_150      is the partname in the catalogfile
          Catalogfiles are in the symbolic directory "CATALOG".

    Catalog-parts are based on a model (filetyp .gcad) and
      a list of values (filetyp .ctlg).
      Both files are text (not binary).

    Catalog-part-files (filetyp .ctlg) are in the symbolic directory "CATALOG".
      Change it with "Standards/Directories".

     Modify Catalog
     This allows to add additional Parts in an existing parts-catalog.
     Select a standard part library, then with a modification editor.

     All standard parts libraries are located in directory {CATALOG}.
     A standard part library is a text file.
     The file name must have extention ".ctlg"

     Each line of a standard part library defines a standard part.
     The lines starting with '#' are comment lines.
     The standard definition of a part consists of:
       Part (name), (Symbolic Model Base Directory / Base Model Name), (Parameters)
       Part Name:
         The name of the standard part, max. 64 characters.
       Symbolic Model Base Directory:
         The symbolic path of the base model; see Standards / Directories
       Base Model name:
         The base model (Type. Gcad)
       Parameters:
         Any gCAD3D parameters are separated by semi-colons ';'
         These codes are in the base model by "CALL CTLG" loaded.

     Example standard part library Schrau.ctlg in symDir CATALOG:
     #=================================================
     # SKS: Hexagonal Screws;
     # V20 = NennDmr; V21 = Key Width; V22 = Head Thickness; V23 = Length
     SKS_6x30; Schrau / SKS; V20 = 6; V21 = 10; V22 = 5; V23 = 30;
     SKS_10x30; Schrau / SKS; V20 = 10; V21 = 17; V22 = 8; V23 = 30;
     #=================================================
     # SB: Discs
     # V20 = innerDmr; V21 = outerDmr; V22 = Thickness
     SB_6; Schrau / SB; V20 = 6.4; V21 = 12; V22 = 1.8;
     SB_10; Schrau / SB; V20 = 10.5; V21 = 21; V22 = 2.5;
     # End of file

     Example base model SB.gcad:
     Disc #
     # V20 = innerDmr
     # V21 = outerDmr
     # V22 = thickness
     V20 = 6.4
     V21 = 12
     V22 = 1.8
     CALL CTLG

    # Override the variables V20, V21, and V22.
     V23 = V20 / 2
     V24 = V21 / 2
     C20 = P (0 0 0) VAL (V23)
     C21 = P (0 0 0) VAL (V24) DR
     C22 = P (0 0 V22) VAL (V23)
     C23 = P (0 0 V22) VAL (V24) DR
     A20 = C21 C20
     A21 = C23 C22
     A22 = CYL L (P (0 0 0) DR) VAL (V24) 03600 V22
    #

    # Schrau(be) ist the german word for Screw

    Create Catalog
     Creates a new standard part library.
     The file name is freely selectable.

    Delete Catalog
     Deleting a standard part library.

    Catalog-directory

    The directory for the catalogparts must be registered in the file for
     all directories as symbol "CATALOG".

    With function Standards/Directories the registration can be  done / modified.
    Example Unix (default):
    CATALOG   /home/userName/gCAD3D/ctlg/

    The file for all directories is - for installation unix-default:
    /home/userName/gCAD3D/cfg/dir.lst

    Example

    //----------------------------------------------------------------
    Simple example for a catalog-part:
    //----------------------------------------------------------------
    # Create following model test_ctlg1.gcad in directory
    V20=VAL(10)
    CALL CTLG
    C20=P(0 0 0) V20
    A20=C20

    # create catalog-file test_ctlg1.gcap in directory  with -
    # CAD - Catalog/Create Catalog / test_ctlg1 OK

    # edit catalog-file test_ctlg1.gcap
    # CAD - Catalog/Modify Catalog / test_ctlg1

    # insert following lines:
    R_25;CATALOG/test_ctlg1;V20=25;
    R_100;CATALOG/test_ctlg1;V20=100;

    # use new catalog:
    # CAD - subModels "M CatalogPart" /  List /
