Exporting Tags
To export tags:
1. Choose Export from the Tools menu.
2. Select an Output Format (APS ASCII, AI, or CSV).
• When you export to an APS ASCII file:
– If the tag name is longer than 10 characters, the Export
function truncates the name.
– If the description is longer than 50 characters, the Export
function truncates the description.
– If the special characters in the description are equivalent to
those used by APS, the Export function translates them:
carriage return (<cr>) to backslash (\)
quotation mark (”) to double quotation marks (“”)
backslash (\) to tilde-backslash (
∼\)
– If the tag name contains other special characters, the Export
function deletes them.
• When you export to an AI file:
– If the tag name is longer than 15 characters, the Export
function truncates the name.
– If the description is longer than 75 characters, the Export
function truncates the description.
• When you export to an CSV file:
– If the comment (description) field contains quotation marks,
commas or carriage returns, the Export function puts quotation
marks around the comment field.
– If the comment field contains embedded quotation marks, the
Export function changes them to double quotation marks (“”).
