I'm sure that there must be an easy answer to this, but how do I print the specification tree. I can not find any way to do it

Try clicking on the tree or the axis system in the lower right corner of your monitor. This should allow you to zoom the tree in and out. Right click and then click on "print whole" to print the tree.

Hello there.

You can also try to save the Assembly as an .txt file.
This will give you the tree structure with expanded nodes.

Another option would be download a program called snag it from the internet it is free to download and grabs the whole window.
 
use "PRINT SCREEN" button.
Open a paint and hold "CTRL" and "V" to paste.
then save in BMP or JPG format.

Hi there

I found in Dassault documentation a script which allows you to write the name of selected products in a text file .

' ***********************************************************************
' Purpose : Write the name of selected products in a text file.
' Assumptions : A CATProduct document should be active.
' Author :

' Purpose: Build the complete name of a product.
'
' Inputs : ioProduct Product the product
'
' Outputs: osName String the complete name
'
' ***********************************************************************
Sub BuildName ( ByRef ioProduct, ByRef osName )

osName = ioProduct.Name
Dim oRoot As Product
Set oRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Product
Dim oCurrent As Product
Set oCurrent = ioProduct
While (oCurrent.Name <> oRoot.Name)
Set oCurrent = oCurrent.Parent.Parent
osName = oCurrent.Name+"\"+osName
Wend

End Sub
