Import Electrical Data PropertyManager
In the Import Electrical Data
PropertyManager, you import
electrical connection and component data from an Excel spreadsheet
called a from-to
list. The PropertyManager controls these properties:
Import From/To List
From-to list file. Specify the
Excel file to import.
Start a new assembly. Import
the from-to data into a new route sub-assembly.
Use existing assembly. Import
the from-to data into an existing route sub-assembly.
Search all sub-assemblies. Searches
the current assembly and all its sub-assemblies for pre-placed connectors
that match the component reference in the from-to list. Otherwise, only
the assembly itself is searched.
Set Libraries
Component library file. Specify
the component library .xml file.
Cable/Wire library file. Specify
the cable library .xml file.
Header Definitions(From/To)
Type the header text from the Excel file into the corresponding header
definition field. For example, if you use PartNo
as the header for the part number column in the Excel file, then type
PartNo in Part
number.
You can type multiple Excel headers, separated
by semi-colons (no spaces), in a header definition field. For example,
if you sometimes import an Excel file with a header PartNo,
and at other times an Excel file with a header PN,
then type PartNo;PN in Part
number. The next time you import an Excel file, both entries appear
and are recognized by the software.
