Refer to the Table of Contents of this module for these procedures. 7 This Document Supports IM-UPS Version 1.2.x and Above Edit Use the Edit option to open a CAD data file in the Edit File window. It is here that the data within the file can be altered if necessary. Since this option opens the Edit File window, it is supported by a separate module.

Refer to the Edit File module. Options Use the Options menu bar heading for steps that may need to be performed for a successful import. The following options are available. . Delete Field . Set Import Range . Set TAB Columns Delete Field Use the Delete Field option to delete specified field(s) in the open format and renumber the fields that remain.

When a field is deleted, it is removed from the Field Identification list box as well. To delete a field from the current format: 1 Open, create, or detect a format. 2 Select the Options menu bar heading. 3 Select the Delete Field menu option. The Delete Field(s) dialog box is displayed. 4 Select one or more fields to delete. 5 Select OK.

A confirmation message is displayed. 6 Select Yes to perform the delete. Select No to cancel the delete operation. Set Import Range Use the Set Import Range option to import a portion of a CAD data file. The following options are available. . . The import range must be specified on a per file basis and is not part of the import format.

To set an import range: 1 Before importing a CAD data file, select the Options menu bar heading. 2 Select the Set Import Range menu option. The Import Range dialog box is displayed. 3 Select All or Range to indicate what part of the CAD data file to import. If Range is selected, the From and To data fields become active.

Enter the appropriate line numbers to indicate what part of the CAD data file to import. 4 Select OK. 5 Continue with the import process. Set TAB Columns It is possible that a CAD data file was created using the Tab key to delineate the data fields. A [Tab] key moves the cursor by predefined intervals.

As the Import facility does not know the interval used when the CAD file was generated, it is possible that data fields overlap making field detection difficult or even impossible. In this case, use the Set TAB Columns option to set the tab interval so that the columns are aligned upon import or auto detection. Tabs can only be set at one interval.

For example, a tab may be set at every three characters or every eight characters, but not at Column 3, Column 8 and then Column 10. To set tab columns: 1 Before importing a CAD data file, select the Options menu bar heading. 2 Select the Set TAB Columns menu option. The Tab Columns dialog box is displayed.

3 Enter the desired tab stop interval in the Tab Columns data field. 4 Select OK. 5 Continue with the import process. Exit Select Exit to close the CAD Data Import window.

This is useful as the Product Editor can use the information already contained in the CAD file rather than requiring manual input of the data again.

The Window The CAD Data Import window is made up of four parts: the file summary; the file display; the Field Identification list box; and the Field Types list box. . #NAME? #NAME? #NAME? #NAME? -Format Type: The format of file. This can be either Table or Separator format (Table is the default).

Table format uses predefined columns for each data type. For example, the reference ID column may be defined as 10 characters. The actual reference ID in the CAD file can contain up to 10 characters. It does not matter if there is data in every column. Separator format uses a character (comma, space, dash, etc.) to separate data fields.

Each line of data must contain the same data types in order for auto detect to work. -# of Fields: The number of fields in the file. -# of Lines: The total number of lines in the file. . The display area is where the CAD file is displayed after an Auto Detect is performed.

The file can also be displayed by using the Edit or Display option under the CAD File menu bar heading. Once the file is displayed, it can be scrolled through using the arrow keys, the Page Up and Page Down keys, or combinations of keys such as [Ctrl, Home] and [Ctrl, End].

The display area is arranged in lines (horizontal) and columns (vertical) and the location of the cursor is always displayed in the top-left part of the display area. The display area can also be used to manually format a file. Refer to the topic titled Manually Create a Format. Data in the display area of the CAD Data Import window cannot be altered.

Data can only be altered using the Edit option under the CAD File menu bar heading. . The Field Identification list box is where the columns or fields, once detected, are identified as to the data they contain. . The Field Types list box contains all of the acceptable data types accepted by the Import utility.

These include: #NAME? #NAME? #NAME? #NAME? #NAME? #NAME?
