Allow component properties to be loaded from external files

In many cases, project designers and engineers start their 3D models without providing engineering data to modeled components. When the 3D arrangement is approved and designers/engineers need to provide detailed data, they need to modify each component manually. It is a tedious activity when they already have an excel or CSV containing all structured data.

    Also import from xls is available now in U8 for all tagged items. Considering this is what was meant by this idea, I am marking this as "will not implement". If there are more requirements that do not get fulfilled by these two features (Data Manager, xls import in PID and OPM) then please add details and we can review again. Thanks.
