Summary

As you have seen in this chapter, there are a number of uses for linking a drawing to an external database. Although you worked through various types of examples, this chapter only scratches the surface of what can be accomplished by linking. Apply these examples to your projects when an external database contains specific information about the project. Using this feature will help you become more productive, not only in creating tables and annotating the drawing, but also in updating the labels to maintain data integrity for your project.
