Incorporate a tool to export Profile Views and Section Views band data to Excel

Incorporate a tool to export Profile Views and Section Views band data to Excel

Based on customer feedback, I kindly request the incorporation of a tool or command in Civil 3D that allows users to export Profile and Section Views band data to Excel. Currently, the only available option is to explode the view and use the DATAEXPORT command.

Another alternative is to use Project Explorer; however, it does not include all the customized data that is sometimes introduced to profile and section views.

Please evaluate and consider this request.

Thank you for your idea. Would you please tell me what data is missing from the Project Explorer workflow?

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Incorporating a tool to export Redhumana Profile and Section view band data directly to Excel in Civil 3D would greatly enhance user efficiency and preserve customized data. This improvement would streamline workflows and eliminate the need for workarounds like exploding views or using Project Explorer, which currently lacks full customization support. 

Please consider this enhancement to meet user needs better and improve functionality.


Hi @TimYarris !
Although Project Explorer is very useful, as far as I know it does not show or include all the data that a user can show in a profile or section view.
I'm kindly asking to consider adding a tool that would basically take the profile or section view band information - as set as the user - and export it to Excel.
I have also requested a tool that would allow the user to export Civil 3D tables (not AutoCAD ones) as Excel files. There's a third-party add-in that does the job called "TableExport". It'd be good that Autodesk offers this solution as well.

Exporting Profile and Section Views band data directly to Excel would indeed streamline workflows and improve efficiency, especially for handling customized data. We'll evaluate this request and explore its feasibility for future updates. Your feedback is highly valued and helps us enhance the tool to better meet user needs.
