Default Catalogue

If you open the Catalogue Editor without first selecting a line from a project, the default *.catalogue file called HIPS and SIPS Features is displayed.

The objects and attributes listed in the default HIPS and SIPS Features catalogue file are read-only system items and cannot be changed. However, you can add custom attributes to those objects, and add side scan objects to the catalogue, then add attributes to them.

This default catalogue is used when existing data (without a *.hips file) is opened in HIPS and SIPS and is upgraded to a *.hips file. It is also used for newly created projects.

Attributes added to the default catalogue will only be included in projects that are created or updated to a .hips file after the additions were made to the default catalogue.
