In this video, author Shaun Bryant explains how important it is to check that the imported component data has updated components in the electrical drawing.
- [Instructor] In the previous video…I got you to import your revised spreadsheet…into your AutoCAD Electrical project.…And we did that From Spreadsheet here in the Import panel,…in the Import/Export Data tab in the ribbon.…Now, one thing I did deliberately in that last video…was I made sure that the drawing was zoomed out…to extent so that you couldn't see…those component numbers changing.…I was kind of keeping you in suspense a little bit there.…But what I was also teaching you…is a really, really important bit…of AutoCAD Electrical etiquette.…
Don't ever import information from a spreadsheet…without checking that the data has changed…from the revised spreadsheet.…It's really, really important,…because you might run that From Spreadsheet command…and think that everything's been changed.…How do you know that until you actually zoom in…and check things have updated?…It's all well and good having a drawing zoomed out…to extents, like we've got here at the moment,…but you can't read the text.…You can't check whether those components…
