project and sheet data migration in Spotlight

[Tomas Lohin]

Hello,

I'm still a beginner and I'm struggling with migrating of project and sheet data from one spotlight project to another. I've already created a report containing project and sheet data, exported into a *.xlsx file. I need to do some magic with those exported data so my second project absorbs its information and my Title block is filled with all the information I've created in previous project.

Thank you.

Instead of exporting it to an excel file try creating a template file with the data in the file.
To do this take your file that has the sheet and üproject data in it, with the appropriate title block saved into your file resources, then delete anything out of the file you don't want to be included (such as symbol resources and the contents of design layers), then run the 'Save as Template' command from the file menu.
You then use the template whenever you start a new project/design and your sheet and project data will already be in the file ready to go.
