Importing and Exporting Data from Microsoft Excel

You can import and export data into variable patterns from Microsoft Excel .xls, .xlsx, and .xlsm file types. Microsoft Excel overwrites any existing data.

If the Microsoft Excel file contains driving dimensions, you no longer have to select the driving dimensions from the graphics area.

To import or export data, with the pattern table open, click Import from Excel or Export from Excel.

You can also import data from a specific sheet in the Excel file. With the pattern table open, click Import from Excel and select the Excel file to import. Then click the Sheet: drop-down list, and select the sheet.

Search 'Importing and Exporting Data from Microsoft Excel' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
