List of inspection dimensions in the Inventor drawing.

If you need a list (table) of inspection dimensions from your Inventor 2010 drawing, you can export it using the ListInspection macro.

The ListInspection macro will make a list of all inspection dimensions in the current Inventor drawing (IDW/DWG), including tolerances. The precision of dimension values is the same as in the drawing. The list is exported to a TAB delimited file. Its file name is the same as the file name of your drawing with just the ".txt" extension added.

In the drawing environment use Alt+F11 to start the VBA editor. Use "File > Load project" to load the ListInspection.ivb file. Switch back to your Inventor drawing and press Alt+F8 to display macros. Pick ListInspection.Report and click the Run button.

You can drag the resulting TXT file to Excel.

The frame/shape codes are "No", "Ang" or "Rnd".

Sample output:

DimValue Toler-L Toler-H InspLabel                  Shape    Rate  Hole
3.235    -0.2    0.3     myLabel1                   Rnd      A1   
2.854    0       0       myLabel2                   Rnd	           H7
0.635    0       0       myDesc <StyleOverride Font='AIGDT'>m</StyleOverride>  Ang R
