Editing the Data Contained within RSDOC Files

You can safely modify some of the data contained within the .rsdoc file. However, when creating DesignSpark Mechanical data or extending the DesignSpark Mechanical user interface, the API is a better choice. The following steps explain how to edit an annotation within the Flashlight\DesignSpark Mechanical \document.xml.

  1. Once you extract the files, open the document.xml with an XML viewer like XMLNotepad.
  2. Search for the text of the annotation you want to change.
  3. Edit the text.
  4. Save the file.
  5. Create a new zip file containing all the previously-extracted files. Make sure that you do not include the top-level folder.
  6. Replace the .zip extension with a .rsdoc extension.
  7. Open the file in DesignSpark Mechanical to check your edits.
