How can I access to a data table inside a spatial file?

In Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD you can access to a data table from a spatial file using the right-click menu over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS ("Standard" edition only) that refers the file, in the "SpatialManager" palette, to import its content into a new or the current BricsCAD drawing. You can also double-click over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS ("Standard" edition only)that refers the file, in the "SpatialManager" palette, to access and import its content into a new or the current BricsCAD drawing (this behaviour may be configured through the tab "Spatial Manager" in the "Options" window of BricsCAD)
