Tips and Tricks
- TIP: Before running this feature, confirm your selection. The feature will run on everything in the current view if nothing is selected. If you pre-select elements before running this utility, it will only run on the selected elements.
- NOTE: The CSV Data Exchange feature is open source and built using our Integration API! If you would like to make modifications to the feature or even see an example of the API in action simply go to the GitHub Repository https://github.com/eVolveMEP/eVolve-MEP-CSV-Data-Exchange.
