Exporting dimensions

Hello everybody,

Anybody knows if it's possible to export all dimensions listed in a .SLDDRW file, including tolerances and comments, in a simple text file, or in an excel spreadsheet?

I'm asking because I have a custom metrology setup on another computer with a program that lists dimensions one by one, waits for measurements from a Mitutoyo micrometer connected to the computer and checks the measurements against the tolerances. Trouble is, for each part, I have to enter all the dimensions and tolerances that need checking by hand in the custom program. What I'd rather do is read somehow the SLDDRW file for each part and work out the list of dimensions and associated tolerances automatically.
