To Export a Parts List GOST (ESKD)

The parts list can be exported to an Excel worksheet. The worksheet is not associated with the Inventor parts list or BOM. If you change the parts list in the worksheet, it is not updated in Inventor. If you change the parts list in Inventor, export the parts list again to display the changes.

Before exporting the parts list, select a specific Excel template to contain the information. Each template contains slightly different information and supports a different form of the GOST parts list. Each template is associated to a GOST parts list by name.

Export information from the parts list to an Excel spreadsheet. You can use the default spreadsheet, choose another spreadsheet provided with the application, or add your own spreadsheet.

To export a spreadsheet, complete the following steps:

1. From the Parts List dialog box toolbar, click Export. The Save As dialog box appears.
2. In the Save As dialog box, navigate to the folder where you want to save the file.
3. In the File name field, type a filename.
4. Click OK to begin the export and save the file. When the export is complete, the Save As dialog box closes.

Note: To view the exported file, either open the file from Excel or from Windows Explorer.
