Steps
to Import Data:
•
Select Import Data, New from the Data
pull-down menu
• Select a record from the Fields
from Record window that contains the
fields that will store the data you
wish to import.
• Select the data fields from
the record that will store the data
you wish to import. Double click on
each field to select it or highlight
the field and click on the >>
arrows to move to the Input File Layout.
Match the input fields with the target
fields you have chosen
• Use a Dummy target field if
the import file contains fields that
will not be imported
• After target fields and records
are selected, indicate the Find field
by highlighting it and clicking on
the Find field radio button
• Select the Skip first input
record if the input file contains
column headers
• Select the Save button if
you wish to add this import dialogue
to the import data menu – recommended
if you will perform this import multiple
times or on other drawings
• Select the Update/Attach button
if you are importing data into existing
objects
• Select the Create Objects
button if your data will create new
objects and attach records to match
the import file layout --- NOTE!!!!
Create objects requires at least one
field in the input file layout box
for each record you want to attach
to the new objects. This must at least
include a field to be matched with
the assignable ID field of the OnRequest™
ID record. It is not recommended to
create objects without an OnRequest™
ID record attached.
