Hi Guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to export the dimensions or properties of the solid bodies to excel? I would like something similar to how a weldment produces a cut list (there are reasons why I have not chosen to do my model using weldments and rather as a whole part).

Can you please explain that statement? This looks like a perfect candidate for a multi-body weldment Part.
Sounds like a perfect candidate for a design table:

Design tables are built with Excel.
I had to do this in Inventor once. Normally the table was searching for " G_L " to show a weldment's length.
I changed my extrude lengths to a parameter called " G_L ". I guess you could do the same in SW.
I don't know how SW collects it's data, but I'm sure there would be a way to do this by macro e.g. search for " G_L " and export
