1               General Information

In Engineering Base, data sheets may be output as PDF files for external editing. The edited PDF file may then be reimported into Engineering Base, and the data will be imported without a prior mapping.

The assistant has the following functions:

·            Export of one or more datasheets as PDF file.

·            In the created PDF file, the text blocks of the technical attributes may be edited via interactive text fields.

·            Import of the revised data into Engineering Base.

·            The data to be imported may be displayed in a preview in which faulty changes will be highlighted in red in the PDF file.

·            To enable change tracking in the project, status information may be stored at the changed objects.

·            Attribute values of changed objects may be updated with entries from catalog.

·            For all attributes into which data is imported, the property Read-Only may automatically be activated after the import of data.
