You can create a list of objects in your drawing. This lets you create a named parts list of all the pieces of your drawing, plus a list of other defined properties.
The List command is on the Object menu. The List command opens the List Objects dialog box, which alphabetically lists the names (the values assigned to the property "name") for the objects selected in the current drawing, and shows the number of times each object appears (quantity).
If no objects are selected, the list contains the names for all the objects in the drawing. Objects without names are listed as "unnamed."
Copying and Printing Object Lists
Click the Copy button to copy the object list to the Clipboard. The list remains in the Clipboard after you close the List Objects dialog box. You can paste the data into the drawing area or into any Windows-compatible program.
Click Print to print the parts list.
You can save an object list as a file to use with another program. Save the list as a TXT file, the default, to use in a word processor. Save the list as a DIF or SLK file to use in compatible programs such as a spreadsheet or database program.
Click Save As to save the parts list as a space delimited text (TXT), comma delimited text (CSV), Data Interchange Format (DIF), or SYLK (SLK) file.
