export parameter in inventor to excel

[Anonymous]

Trying to export parameter list to excel with no links, just as a one time action.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Kim

 Click the "Manage" drop down under the Parameters button and select "Export to XML".

Then you can use a converter to make it an Excel file.

EDIT: Actually, Excel can import XMLs natively via the Developer tab, so you don't need a convertor.

Due to errors in the XML file because of (Inventor?) formatting errors, I could not open the XML file with Excel. A serious error occurred and crashed Excel.

However, I was able to use this site https://json-csv.com/xml to convert the XML to CSV.

Next, I could open the CSV to discover parameter names, types, and values, including multi-value lists.

Hope this is helpful to others.

I'm not sure how many parameters you have, but you could write them out using the standard Excel Snippets that come with Inventor

c1  = GoExcel.CellValue("filename.xls", "Sheet1", "A2")
c2 = GoExcel.CellValue("filename.xls", "Sheet1", "A3")
