Congratulations! You have downloaded your new Mag-Lib(s). If you haven't downloaded yet, then please click here.


Mag-Libs are the same as standard IronCAD catalogs that come with your IronCAD solution. They are treated and managed the same way you would normally work with IronCAD catalogs. If you are seasoned IronCAD user, then you know the process of "Opening" and using catalogs and therefore you can skip this section and start using your Mag-Lib.


For novice IronCAD users, please read on.


  • Go the folder where you downloaded your file and unzip it. If you dont have a unzip utility program, we suggest using 7Zip and its free. Once unzipped you will see the following folder and file structure below:




    • The first folder is the "Bin" folder that holds all the support media and ancillary documentation to support your specific Mag-Lib. 
    • Also you will see the "m-XXXX_License Agreement.pdf" file that outlines the terms and conditions of using your Mag-Lib.
    • Lastly, is the actual catalog to be opened with any supporting IronCAD solution.


We recommend you create a dedicated Folder (and structure) to store and use your Mag-Lib(s) such as "m-SHAPES" for the m-SHAPES catalog. This will help you manage and maintain future releases. See an example below of a organized folder naming and structure.
