Converting a worksheet to a list

This command converts a database worksheet (that was created with one of the Documentation commands) to a spreadsheet worksheet with a "list" name. This is useful for freezing a worksheet at a particular point in the design process or to create a list suitable for comparison with the drawing later. The list worksheet could be exported and then edited by staff on-site at the installation location, with changes that need to be made.

Two-way editing cannot be done from spreadsheet rows in a worksheet, so editing the list worksheet has no immediate effect on the drawing.

To convert a worksheet to a list:

Create a worksheet (see Creating ConnectCAD reports).

Select the command.

The Select Worksheet dialog box opens. If a worksheet is currently open, it is already selected; otherwise, select the worksheet to convert to a list.
