1.6.1.3.1.10.  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.

Using 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 with consecutive number in the 3D History.

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

  2. At the same project (to copy into all 3dbs there), another project or a directory, click the context menu command Automation -> Edit project in batch mode.

    -> The dialog box Edit tables in batch run is opened.

  3. In the uppermost list field, select the option Insert sketch.
