EXport class  properties in Excel
« on: December 12, 2013, 09:52:53 am »
Hi,

we need to export elements, mostly classes with their properties. I know only the export of tagged values, not the properties of classes.

Is there any way export classes and their properties in an excel file ? Perhaps also in the opposite way (import) ?

Thansk a lot,

Michel

You could try the CSV import/export feature.

It can be accessed via the package context menu (right-click on the package).
Select menu "Import/Export | CSV Import/Export".
In the window that pops up, you can define a 'Specification' which acts as a 'template' to define the properties of the elements to import or export.

Only tagged values are possible to export. No properties of a Class element.

Have you tried the List View? There you can copy/paste properties. The drawback: you need to create a diagram.

The easiest (without programming an little export utility) is to create an SQL Search containing the data you need. You can then copy/past the results in a text file and open is as a CSV file in excel.

You might also want to look at EADocX. I believe they have an excel export feature as well.
