Database Import Improvement

Database Import Improvement

In 2015, there was a "Database Import" and a "Database Export" feature added. When you perform the "Database Import" feature and select what type of import you would like to perform (connectors, specifications, ancillaries, etc). You are then asked for the file location of the export file.

 

After selecting, and completing the "Database Import" process, everything is added in brackets within your drawing. If you want to make those changes permanent, you then have to go to "Manage Database" and make everything permanent manually.

 

It would be nice to have a checkbox on the "Database Import file location screen (see attached pic)" to ask you wether or not you want to make these changes permanent. This would save an extra step, you would not need to go into "Manage Database".

 

The majority of the time, if you are importing utilizing the "Database Import" feature, you are going to want to make those changes permanent. This added checkbox would not remove any existing functionality but would allow you to save a extra step.

 

Thanks,

 

Nick
