Exporting as a Database

The Export Database command exports all records of a particular format as a file that can be used in a database program, such as FileMaker Pro and Microsoft Access. The Vectorworks program provides a variety of formats to select from when exporting records as a database, including comma-delimited, tab-delimited, merge, DIF, and SYLK.

To export the selected records to a database:

  1. Select File > Export > Export Database.

  2. The Export Database dialog box opens.

  3. Select the records to export and the format for the export file, and click OK.

  4. Specify the export file name and destination, and click Save.
