I am curious how a engineering Document that has to do with a part that
makes up a product has todo with the catalog.

Hi Olivier:
I did a write up that addressed this very topic, albeit in a cursory
fashion. You will need to go to http://www.myofbiz.com and take a look
at the Catalog Manager book.

Hi again!
I'm looking for a way to attach pdf files (or any type of files) to a
product.
I wish to be able to have our engineers link plans to parts, in such a
way that it would be very simple, viewing any product, to generate a
list of all the parts required to build it, and have access to all the
plans for our guys at manufacturing. It would eventually be useful for
a client wanting to change a piece, I think.
Up to now, I have dabbled in the "Content" application, but I don't
think I have done it right. I wanted to create a new content type,
called "plans" or something, and be able to upload that extra piece of
information for each product based on the new content type I created...
The idea is that the engineers could just attach the files themselves
with no intervention on my part whatsoever. Am I on the right track?
My googling around and searching on the mailing list didn't seem to
point directly to that, and/or suggested that I couldn't just
configure it on OFBiz out of the box without messing around with the
code a little bit.
Thanks again,
Olivier
