In the Product, you can go to Analyze/Bill of Material, and at the bottom there is a SaveAs button. Excel is one of the available file types.

RE: CatDrawing BOM to Excel

itsmyjob, can you guide me a little bit in how to import text from a file to a drawing table?? as far as I can go is to do the whole "insert object" thing but this leaves me with an image which I later have to resize to fit...

How do I go to recuperate text from a regular txt file sepparated by tabs and insert it in a drawing table on the drafting workbench??

Thanx for your help

regards, luis

RE: CatDrawing BOM to Excel

for your script you should work at the drawingtable level.

open your text file.
get the first line
find the next tab, do some text manipulation with mid()
put the text in the proper cell CATDrawingTable.SetCellString()
go to next tab in text and next Column in drawingtable
go to next line in text file and next Row in Table
