The menu items under the Tools menu each invoke a tabular dialog box that presents database content.
Note Regular users have view-only access to the data, but administrators can change and save the data. When data is changed in this fashion, the changes are not reflected in the view of the active model shown on the main Drawing Window. For this reason, editing is restricted to administrators only, who are advised to use caution when editing.
If necessary, close and reopen the model to refresh the data in the Drawing Window after editing.
