Export part list and other infos from *.idw to xls draft

[sukram]

Hope someone can help me....

i have to export part list and Information (e.g. Drawing title, date,..) into an formatted excel sheet. Is this possible - have to write an VB.net tool - can filter the drawings, but how can i export part list exactly on a position in the Excel sheet??

best regards

AFAIK, the easiest way to do this would be to write an Excel Add-In that uses Apprentice to access the Inventor files (e.g. .idw).

use the Excel Range object. Either hard-code the starting cell (upper left hand corner), or let the user select it.

There´s a little Problem.. there are many idw´s.. I´d like to write an VB.net Tool to generate part lists of all that drawings. I´m able to write them to xls, but how can i access fiels from part list, or drawing itself?
Somebody knows a way??
