To keep the download size of X2 manageable, the Manufacturers Libraries and Bonus Content will have to be downloaded and installed separately.

1. Follow the link to http://www.chiefarchitect.com/useraccess/content.html click on Name Brand Catalogs and Content then Manufacturer Catalogs for Chief X2. You will then need to select the prior version X2 content link.
   
   
   For direct links to these resources, see below.

   If you are not logged into your account, you will need to do so when you download the first catalog.
   
   
   
2. Once logged in, you will see a Download Now link for each catalog, click on the link.
   
   
   
3. You will then be prompted to Run or Save the the file.
   
   In most cases, you should choose to Run the file.  Once the downloader completes, it will automatically import the catalog into your program's Library Browser.
   
   
   
4. If you do choose to Save the file, save it to a location easily accessible, such as your Desktop.
   
   
   IMPORTANT: The file just saved is not the actual catalog, but the installer file.
   
   
   Double click on the installer file.
   
   The catalog file will install, by default, to your My DocumentsDownloads folder
   
   

If you chose to Save, instead of Run the file, once the catalog has finished installing, launch Chief Architect X2.
