LIST

Purpose:

To list objects in arbitrary data banks.

Instructions:

In the File menu, click Data bank, then List.

1. Selecting what kind of objects to list

   The specific kind of objects to list is selected from a multiple choice dialog, showing the different alternatives (initial system-proposed data banks to the right):

   • Drawings
     Drawing DB     SB_PDB)

   • Standards
     Standard Library DB     (SBD_STD)

   • Subpictures
     Subpicture DB     (SBD_PICT)

   • In Book
     Standard Library DB     (SBD_STD)

   • Other
     User-defined DB

     The first 4 choices denotes specific kinds of objects while the last choice Other means that any kind of object can be listed. In this case, the initial data bank is first supplied by user.

2. Listing Objects

   The name of the object(s) to list is keyed in. Wild cards are accepted. The names of the matching objects will be listed together with the following attributes:

   • Revision date

   • Object codes

   • Size, in 512 byte blocks

     To list a data bank, other than the initially system-proposed, click Options. The system will then let you key in the name of another data bank (the name of the current data bank is proposed).

3. Listing the Book

   If In Book is selected, another multiple choice dialog appears from where the kind of book to list in is selected:

   • Standard Detail Book

   • Hatch Pattern Book

4. Next, all existing pages in the book are presented in a dialog, from where the page to list is selected by user. Once selected, all existing details within that page are listed. To confirm the listing, click Close.

Options:

None.

Result:

Objects will be listed according to User’s action.
