Is there a way to extract all of the feature dimensions including location then dump them into a spread sheet from a part file? I have looked in the API section on the SolidWorks web site... didn't find much, not sure what to look for, and not API / programmer literate. A point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Can you create a design table for the part and let it automatically add everything? Or does that miss things? I've never tried to get EVERYTHING before.
Well it could if the part was originally created that way. What they have is an assembly of a door and door frame. When they change the size of the door it automatically updated the frame through equations. What they want is the dimensional data from the assembly for each part place into a spread sheet then fed to manufacturing.

Ok, You're over my head then. I'm sure you can get a macro to do it, bu I don't know all the details. You'll have to traverse the feature tree of each part feature by feature snagging dimensions as you go. I'd start researching along those lines. There are others here who probably know more.
Thanks Philipee,
I will take a look.
