Importing Tags
To import tags:
1. Choose Import from the Tools menu.
2. Select an Input Format (APS ASCII, AI, or CSV).
When you import from APS ASCII format, the Import function
automatically translates special characters in address comments
(AC) used by the APS software as follows:
•
backslash (\) is changed to carriage return ()
•
double quotation marks (“”) are changed to a single (”)
•
tilde preceding a backslash (
∼
\) is changed to a backslash (\)
AI software does not add the .AI extension on an exported
comment and symbol file. PanelBuilder will not recognize an AI
file without the .AI extension.
3. In the File box, type a source file or click Browse to search for a
source file.
4. Under Destination, select a project and controller used by the
project.
5. Click OK.
The Reading Source File dialog opens followed by the Importing
Tags to Project dialog as the tags are imported. These dialogs
display the percentage complete.
When the Import function is finished importing the tags, the
Summary Report dialog opens.
Click to View the full report.
Click to save the report to a file.
If you want to print the report,
you must save it to a file.
6. Click OK to return to the table view.
