Editing the Data Contained within SCDOC Files

You can safely modify some of the data contained within the .scdoc file. However, when creating SpaceClaim data or extending the SpaceClaim user interface, the API is a better choice. The following steps explain how to edit an annotation within the Flashlight\SpaceClaim \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 .scdoc extension.
  7. Open the file in SpaceClaim to check your edits.
