1.10.1.3.1.10.  Edit tables in batch run: Insert sketch

Especially in projects with many 3dbs or with connection points used again and again, certain sketches are multiply used, where copying is very time consuming. Much more simple and time saving is copying of sketches via batch run.

With the function Edit tables in batch run, option Insert sketch, a selected sketch is added in all projects and there in all 3dbs.

The new sketch is added to the 3D history [3D History] with a consecutive number.

  1. Save the sketch to be copied (*.hsk file) at any location.

  2. Open the context menu command Automation -> Edit project in batch run [Edit project in batch mode] via the same project (to copy to all 3dbs there), another project or a directory.

    -> The Edit tables in batch run dialog box opens.

  3. Select the Insert sketch option in the top list field.
