Structure of the CSV file

–file name - specification of the file name

–Old param ### - Define a parameter ### as alternative to the file name (file name should not be defined) - no instance support

–file path - specification of the file path

–### Value - the value of parameter ### that is to be set

Typical CSV file:

file name;DESIGNATION Value;

test.prt;test file;

peter.prt;Peter's part;

When you activate reworking instances in the generic family table (5), they are only specified in the CSV with instance name and suffix (as in Instance.prt).
