The
Choose Output page of the Data Extraction
wizard lets you output the extracted data to a table within your drawing, to an external
file, or both.
The
following options are available:
- Insert data extraction table into drawing
When the data
extraction is complete, the software prompts you to insert the table into the
current drawing.
By default, the cells of the data extraction table are
locked. To enable editing, unlock individual cells or the entire table.
Right-click a cell to specify locking and unlocking options.
After placing the data extraction table on the drawing you can use the
ExportTable command to export the data into
.csv format.
- Output data to external file
You can export the data from
the data extraction table to the following file formats:
- Comma-separated file (.csv format). CSV
(Comma-separated Values) is an ASCII file format that stores tabular
data for spreadsheet or database software. Commas separate the cell
values. Strings are enclosed by single quotation marks.
- Text file. A .txt file is a
standard text document in which the fields of the data extraction table
are separated by tab characters. The .txt file does
not include formatting information.
