Answer question

How to export content of Aspect / Details / References

Hi, I'm currently working on an upgrade project for a plant - from VB6 to PG2. I am trying to find a way to list the graphic elements (tag + type) used in VB6 Graphic Displays, via the Details / References tab. Because - all information I want, can be found here:

Source object

Source aspect

Target object

Target aspect

State

Resolved path

But there is no way to export it! I can't copy and paste, there is no export or print (except print screen). Of course, I can print screen, print, scan and import to excel. But it seems a bit over the top.

For AC400, we made scripts that picked this type of information from the .ds files. For VB6, I haven't found any similar method.

Am I overlooking something obvious? I think I've been through most manuals looking for a way out, without any luck.

Since we're doing this on a live plant (!), we try to avoid BDM. But if this is the answer, then we have to try. So any tips on how to do this in BDM is also welcome.
