Importing a Library in Excel Format

You can create cable/wire library data in an Excel spreadsheet and import it into SolidWorks to create a library.

See Creating a Cable/Wire File in Excel for information about creating the file.

  1. Under Excel File path, click and open the Excel file to import.
  2. Select the type of library you are going to create from the list: Cable Library, Wire Library, or Ribbon Cable Library.

    A table that corresponds to the type of library you selected appears. (There are two tables for Cable Library.)

  3. In the table, under Excel Column Name, double-click each row and select the column name in the Excel spreadsheet to map to the library column.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Set options in the Cable Wire Library/Component Library Dialog Box dialog box.
