You can export and import
links and link templates, labels and label templates, and queries.
Occasionally
you may want to make templates or queries that you have developed
available to other users, or use templates or queries that others have
developed. This is particularly useful when developing a set of
common tools that can be shared by all of the team members on a
project, and it eliminates the need to replicate the work of template
and query development on each team member's workstation. The program
can import and export all the link and label templates and queries
that are associated with a drawing.
To import a set of templates
into the current drawing
- In the dbConnect Manager, in the tree
view, right-click a drawing file. Click Import Template Set.
- In the Import Template Set dialog box,
select a template set.
- Click Open to import the template set
into the current drawing.
If there is a link or label template with the
same name already associated with the current drawing, an alert
box is displayed that you can use to provide a unique name for the
template.
To export a set of templates
from the current drawing
- In the dbConnect Manager, in the tree
view, right-click a drawing file. Click Export Template Set.
- In the Export Template Set dialog box,
in the Save In list, select the directory you want to save the template
set to.
- Under File Name, specify a name for the
template set. Click Save.
To import a set of queries
into the current drawing
- In the dbConnect Manager, in the tree
view, right-click a drawing file. Click Import Query Set.
- In the Import Query Set dialog box, select
the query set.
- Click Open to import the query set into
the current drawing.
If there is a query with
the same name already associated with the current drawing, an alert
box is displayed that you can use to provide a unique name for the
query.
To export a set of queries
from the current drawing
- In the dbConnect Manager, in the tree
view, right-click a drawing file. Click Export Query Set.
