Project
■ Active project: All the drawings in the active project are
scanned and the results are listed in a dialog box. Select from
the list to assign your new terminal with a catalog number
that is consistent with other similar terminals in the project.
■ Other project: Scans each listed drawing in a previous project
for the target terminal type and returns the catalog informa-
tion in a sub-dialog box. Make your catalog assignment by
picking from the dialog list.
■ External file: You can pull catalog assignments from a gen-
eric ASCII file created by a word processor or output from a
spreadsheet or database program. A dialog box displays the
contents of the selected text file. Find and highlight the de-

file and breaks it into its component parts. These are displayed
in the left-hand dialog list. For each relevant item, highlight
it and then pick the appropriate category button in the center
column. The highlighted item is transferred to the correspond-
ing category (and then to the Insert/Edit dialog box once OK
is clicked).
