 Select a file to import

 

If a part code already exists in the part library the program prompts to overwrite the code or stop the import.

 

The program reports any problems with the incoming data.

 

 

Setup of External files

 

The file type can be CSV (ASCIII text file) or the Excel formats XLS, XLSX; this is set via (Part library screen - File - Parameters). To import an external file directly to the part library the format of the external file must follow a fixed layout; this is described in the help topic: Parameters - Part library

 

The details of the file format are also in the: Interface guide
