Creating Plant Lists for VectorWorks Landmark

Plant lists are the connection between the FileMaker plant database and VectorWorks Landmark. Creating plant lists from the entire set, or from found sets, in the plant database allows that data to be attached to plants in VectorWorks. Create as many plant lists as necessary; the appropriate plant list is selected for the plant definition. The data attached to a plant becomes part of the plant definition, and can be added to planting plans and displayed by plant ID tags.

To create a plant list from the plant database:

1.	Open the plant database as described in Accessing the Plant Database.

2.	Search for the plants to include in the plant list (see Searching for Plants). The plant list is created from a found set of records, or from all the plant records. Larger plant lists take longer to load into VectorWorks.

3.	Select the File > Create VectorWorks Plant List database command.

The Create Plant List dialog box opens. Provide a name for the plant list.

4.

Click OK.

The plant list file is a tab-delimited file saved in the location of the plant database.
