Exporting to excel

Mar 17, 2006 2 Replies

I have made a bill of materials in Solidworks but want to export it to Excel.



How do I do it?



Cheers.


Two methods:

  1. While in the drawing, click on the BOM (so that it's highlighted - don't double-click), and go File--> Save As.

  1. Double-click on the BOM, select the entire range of cells, CTRL+C (copy).. Open up Excel separately and paste into cell A1.

Single pick the BOM and then do a FILE SAVE. It will save it as a txt file that you can bring into excel. FYI this excel file WILL NOT be linked back to the BOM on the drawing.
