NX -
Customize Columns and Export Information from NX
to an
Excel Spreadsheet
|
There is a very useful option in NX that allows the user to
export information from NX into an Excel spreadsheet. This can be used in NX
CAM to export a list of tools, operations, and other information. This could
be used in NX CAD to export a list of components in an assembly, model
history, etc. The steps below will illustrate how to export machining
information and also how to modify columns in the Operation Navigator in NX
CAM. Customizing columns will allow you to export only the information needed
for the spreadsheet.
1) In the Manufacturing Environment, I am in the Program
Order View. Notice the list of operations and the information listed in each
column:
2) Right click below
the operations in the Operation Navigator and then select "Export to
Spreadsheet":
3) Notice all of the
information from the Operation Navigator is now listed in an Excel spreadsheet:
4) Customize the columns by
right clicking below the operations in the Operation Navigator and select
"Columns" and check and uncheck the columns you want to display:
5) Notice I have turned
on the "Time" column and now the time of each operation is shown in
the spreadsheet:

How would you export only selected parts to a spreadsheet?
ReplyDeleteHello Michael - When you export items into Excel, it only exports data that is displayed. You would have to format the spreadsheet to your desired options after all the data has been exported.
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
