Export Blast to Vulcan

To export a blast as a Vulcan design database file (*.dgd.isis), follow these steps:

  1. On the Blast context sensitive ribbon, in the Export group, select Export Blast to Vulcan. The Export Blast to Vulcan panel will appear.

  2. Specify an export location in the Export to field by entering a folder location or by clicking and selecting the desired location from the file explorer.

  3. Optionally, select an export unit from the Export as drop-down.

  4. Select the blast data source you wish to export from the Source column drop-down. The drop-down contains four types of sources:

    • Current
      Select the Current option to create a tie-up using reconciled data. If there is no reconciled data, BlastLogic will load the plan data instead (but not any loaded data). This option is in bold to signify that it is a special data type and not a snapshot.

    • Reference design snapshot
      The name of the reference design snapshot will appear as an option in the drop-down. For example, in the image below, the snapshot HP, is in bold to represent that it is the reference design snapshot. Select this option to create a tie-up using the reference design snapshot data.

    • Other snapshots
      Any other snapshots related to the blast will also appear in the drop-down. Select the name of the desired snapshot to create a tie-up using that snapshot’s data. These snapshots will not be in bold.

  5. Click OK.
