Export | Opens the dialog, which is used to specify the user name and optional comment associated with the updated data set being sent from STAAD.Pro. | |
Reload |
Reloads the current PipeLink database and initiates the Support Connection Wizard. Any changes made to the active model since the last save action will be discarded. Only the current active model is reloaded. Note: A reload is
always performed when a model is re-imported.

Piping ribbon tab.
