All project and global database grids support the concept that they can be exported to Excel and re-imported into WireCAD.

Users can do a blind import of data ignoring the data that is already in place, or you can do a round trip export/import process.

If the user is using the round trip process the user MUST export the table's GUID (Global Unique Identifier) so that there is a database reference.

After making changes to the project data, the user can ripple the changes across the project.

 

 

 

Here is the model that you should follow when using the Round Trip Export/Import function:

 

 

 

 

 
To perform the round trip export/import:

 

1. Open the grid that you would like to export.

2. In the File menu, Click the [Export] drop-down, and select [To XLS]

 

 

 

 

 

3. Open your Excel file and make a change. Here, we will make a change in the Building field. Save your changes.

 

 

 

4. Import your XLS file. [Import] > [Yes]

 

 

 

5. Once done, you'll get a notification regarding things that may or may not have gone wrong.

6. Ripple your changes across the project.
