how do i import/add a .4d naming file

Post by Kane X D'Rose »

I have an excel spreadsheet and a .4d file from a company I'm working for. they wish for me to use their coding for my asbuilts. how do I import the .4d file into my project?

names.4d file is just a file that is used, doesnt get imported
you could save it in your Working folder (the one that has your xyz.project folder - xyz is the name of your project)

when you restart 12d it will find the names.4d file and use it to populate the [N]ames box

not sure what is in your excel spreadsheet but you could use names.4d information to make a map file for your asbuilt pickup and coding
