Thanks a lot Abd, you helped again. I searched everywhere, but not in the edit group.
The reason I have to use it, is to make paste masks and assembly drawings for partly assembled boards ( some components left ) and for solder - jumper openings.

In Schematic, Edit/Export to Spread. Be sure to Save the file if you want to keep it, as I recall it does not automatically save the spreadsheet to the .ddb even though an empty file is created, the real file is in RAM only until saved. If you want to edit this file and Update the schematic (File/Update from the spreadsheet editor) *leave the original schematic file open and the spreadsheet as well.* I typically do my editing in Excel, that is, I export the spreadsheet and manipulate it in excel, then paste the modified data back into the Protel spreadsheet, then Update. There are a number of aggravating nuisances with the spreadsheet editor, it needs polishing. But it works. The process is similar in PCB. The PCB library editor will also create a spreadsheet for a single footprint, which can be very useful for complex footprints. (I created a big BGA and assigned alphanumeric pad names this way, using spreadsheet formulas and other Excel facilities). The Schematic library editor does not seem to have a spreadsheet command.
