• | To choose a database template |
• | To add or edit data for an object |
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.
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).
