Extraction options
PilotAssembly uses the extraction options when building the table.
Simply check or uncheck certain options and, if necessary, enter filters.
Force resolution of lightweighted components: Whether or not to force the reconstruction of components if they are in a lightweighted state in the assembly tree.
Extract content from deleted components: Allows you to retrieve information from components even if they have a "Deleted" status.
Extract all occurrences of components: This allows you to retrieve, during reading, the total number of repetitions or occurrences present in the assembly.
Show Components: Retrieve all components (parts and assemblies). This option is checked by default.
Show Dimensions: Whether or not to retrieve part dimensions. For example, filter to show only radius and diameter dimensions.
Display global variables: whether or not to retrieve global variables from the file.
Display properties: whether or not to retrieve file properties; option to retrieve only certain properties.
Show Constraints: Whether or not to retrieve assembly constraints.
Display the properties of welded part lists: retrieve the properties of welded items; option to retrieve only certain properties.
Display functions: whether or not to retrieve all part functions; option to retrieve only certain functions.
Browse only the first level of components: This prevents the assembly from being read beyond the first level of the assembly.
Read Alert if the table is not empty: Displays a warning message after clicking the Read button if the Excel sheet is not empty.
Extract each used configuration: This allows you to separate all configurations of the same component used in the assembly (for example, a screw used multiple times in different configurations).
Retrieve the evaluated values of properties: retrieves the calculated values of properties; examples:
- If a dimension labeled "D1@Esquisse2" has a value of " 20," PilotAssembly will retrieve the value " 20."
- If a property retrieves the "SW-Material@fichier.SLDPRT" material from a "Galvanized Steel" component, PilotAssembly will retrieve the value " Galvanized Steel. "
