Data Tool

Command: CSA_DATA_TOOL


Purpose

Review and/or remove Artisan data from the drawing.

Usage

1. Click the Data Tool button

Click the Data Tool button on the Miscellaneous Ribbon Panel

2. Artisan Data Tool dialog.

The Data Tool has two settings in the Category drop down list; Labels and Reports.

The Labels category will display all the data labels in the drawing. The Reports category will display all the reports in the drawing

If any data needs to be removed select the labels or reports and click Delete.

Notes

1. Changes to Artisan data will not affect the graphics displayed in the drawing unless labels are deleted and not reports which display data from those labels. In that case next time the reports are updated the data from the deleted label will no longer be included.

2. The typical use of the Artisan Data Tool is to remove non-graphic data from the drawing before sending the drawing to another organisation.

3. Drawing data is stored within the Autocad DWG file as XRecords. It is these that are being viewed and/or deleted using this tool.

4. Labels and Reports will no longer act as intelligent Artisan objects if deleted using the data tool.
