Import Diagrams

There are two import facilities available in the Schematic Model Manager module, the Import Diagrams facility (refer to Import Diagrams Facility) and the Import Diagram Set facility (refer to Import Diagram Set).

These two facilities are used to select the data to be imported. In the case of the Import Diagram Set facility, these are predefined sets of diagrams, which once defined, can be selected for import multiple times. In the case of the Import Diagrams facility, the diagram or diagrams to be imported are selected at the time of import.

The import itself is then monitored using the Import Progress dialog (see Import Progress Dialog).

Diagram data can also be imported using the facilities available by using PML (see Import Using PML).

Whichever method is used, after data has been imported, it must be saved to the database (see Save Imported Data).

Note:
Data can also be imported into the database from Excel and CSV files. This facility is available from the Import > Excel/CSV... option on the File menu and from the option on the SMM toolbar. Refer to the Plant DESIGN module or Marine Hull and Outfitting module documentation for detailed information of this facility.
