When data is imported or created in GigaDXF it is in the form of a table, with columns and rows, for data management. It allows you to add new data at either the bottom or right of the tables and provides easy sorting in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column header.

Menu Commands

More command options can be accessed by right clicking on any active column.

Add Column

Columns are used to store information for labelling in EzyNest.

A dialog will be presented to allow you to add a new column and name it. The new column will be added at the end of the rows.

 

You cannot add a blank column or a column with a duplicate name. 

Rename Column

This allows a column to be renamed using the shown edit dialog. The "UnitNumber" column here has been renamed "UnitNo"

Required columns cannot be renamed and the column header must not be blank or a duplicate name.

Delete Column

Deletes the selected column.

Note that there is no confirmation and deleting a column cannot be reversed.

Copy Cells

Copies the selected cells to the clipboard for future paste.

Paste Cells

Paste cells over the current cell selection.

Save as Default Layout

Saves the current column layout for the next time you run GigaDXF.

Edit Selected Cells

Allows you to amend details of a single or multiple selected cells.

Values in single cells can be overtyped, so this command would be useful for changing the value in multiple cells, as shown above.

Be aware that the cell data in not checked by the application e.g. in the example above, the letter d was typed instead of a number.
