excel associativity question

[glassmaker]

I need to export certain part parameters into excel. I know I can export a txt file and bring that into excel but I need more functionality than that. I need to be able to designate which cell to put a parameter into on the excel spread sheet. Is the possible?

These part files also have drawings with them. The drawings do have the parameters called out as text. Part mode or drawing mode, it doesn't matter to me how this is accomplished.

I know of some third party software that might accomplish this but because of the cost, it is not an option.

part mode...you could use the model tree and only export selected parameters and from the tree you can change the order, even use a tree.cfg file to set that.

Min. your going to have the part name first then your prams... alittle vba in excel to read it into where you want.. should be easy

treetool.txt is the proe output file from part mode..

default name for tree save as text...

might look at this thread too which says basically the same thing

I just think you will have to do a least a little bit of vba in excel to get it as pretty as you want
