Managing object data

After creating all the data fields you want for a drawing, you can create a database from a template. The database stores all the data you apply to the objects in your drawing. You can choose from three different templates; because each template saves to an external, tagged XML file, you can store the data for different workflows simultaneously.

The Object Data Manager provides all the commands and features you need to add, edit, and delete object data — even behaviors that were applied using the Internet toolbar.

You can use one object’s data entries to update another object’s data entries. This function does not replace an object’s data entries; rather, it appends fields and data where appropriate.

Corel DESIGNER also provides common ActiveCGM, WebCGM, and WebCGM S1000D fields. When you import or export CGM files, the object data is maintained. For more information on importing and exporting CGM files, see Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM).

Object data is also maintained when you import or export SVG files. For more information about importing and exporting SVG files, see Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
