Import from Project Schedule

The button is used to import records from a project schedule to the standards schedule. This button can be used to copy an entire project schedule or a single record. This button allows you to create your standards schedule from a project schedule.

When you press this button, the Select Database to Import From dialog box will appear and prompt you to select the project from which the schedule records will be imported.

Select the database from which to import. You must select a Design Master Plumbing database. The database must be updated to the most current version. If it is not, you will be prompted to open a drawing in the project to convert the database. After it is updated, you will then be able to import from it.

After you select the database, the Import Record from Another Project dialog box will appear and prompt you to select the records to import.

  •  Current Group: The group in the project schedule from which the records will be imported.

  •   Press this button to select a new group from which to import records.

  •   Press this button to import all of the records from the Current Group to the standards schedule.

    New records will be created in the standards schedule for each record being imported. If a record with the same name already exists in the standards schedule, a new record will be created with (Copy) appended to the record name. The existing record will not be modified.

    You will be prompted if you want to delete existing records in the standards schedule.

  •  Record List ☰ The list of records in the Current Group. Select the records to import from this list. You can select multiple records using the SHIFT and CTRL keys.

The record will be created with the same name as the record in the project schedule. If a record with the same name already exists in the standards schedule, a new record will be created with (Copy) appended to the record name. The existing record will not be modified.

  •  🔘 Update Current Record in Schedule Select this option to update the current record in the standards schedule with the information from the imported record. All of the information in the standards schedule will be overwritten.
