This means that one person (an engineer, for example) can use Excel to build an electrical panel schedule or a parts list and another person (an AutoCAD operator, for example) working in another room (or across town) can put the panel schedule or parts list on the drawing. The engineer does not need to know anything about AutoCAD or have access to AutoCAD and the CAD operator does not need to use Excel.
