### Export product data from CET

You may only import a CSV into Canoa, below is a step-by-step of how to convert your CET data into Canoa.

1. Create a **CET** file with all products you wish to `Import` as products in Canoa.
2. Add all of your finishes, parts and pieces to each product.&#x20;
   * Each product may be a combination of Part Numbers
3. `Export` as a **SIF** with combined Part Numbers.
4. There are 2 ways to work with a **SIF**
   1. Format and convert to a **CSV** utilizing [<mark style="color:purple;">**CanoaGPT**</mark> ](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-dkB2IDXQ3-canoagpt)
   2. Use **Spec** to convert to a **CSV** (some additional formatting may need to be done in CanoaGPT with this process)

### Option 1: Convert your SIF to a CSV using CanoaGPT

1. Open [<mark style="color:purple;">**CanoaGPT**</mark>](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-dkB2IDXQ3-canoagpt)
2. Upload the **SIF** file and ask if it can confirm the data fields to get it ready for the next step
3. Ask **CanoaGPT** to create a **CSV** from the file, with a record for every **PN or Part Number** with all of the associated data fields.&#x20;
4. Download your newly formated **CSV** file

### Option 2: Convert your SIF in Spec

1. Open a **SIF** file in **Spec**
   * See [<mark style="color:purple;">**Working with Spec**</mark>](https://help.canoa.supply/docs/collect/integrations/working-with-spec) for more details
2. `Export` as a **CSV**

## Import your CSV in Canoa

1. `Import` your **CSV** into[ <mark style="color:purple;">**Canvas**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/canvas) (for less than 100 products) or [<mark style="color:purple;">**Catalog Pro**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/catalog-pro) (for 100 products or more)
   * Match the **CSV** fields with the Canoa formatted fields
   * \*Format your **CSV** before importing to save time matching fields.  Refer to the article for step-by-step instructions.
2. Add Images and 2D drawings to your products to use in future projects and to collaborate with your team.

## Exporting 2D Drawing Symbols from CET

1. `Export` your drawing Symbols as a **DWG** or **DXF**
2. You may want to open in **AutoCAD** before importing into Canoa and clean up complicated mesh drawings.
3. Test a drawing by creating a product by Creating a new product in [<mark style="color:purple;">**Canvas**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/canvas) or [<mark style="color:purple;">**Pro**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/catalog-pro) and upload the **DWG** or **DXF** in the **Drawing Editor**.
