Below is a journal taken from the forums that I believe deserves more exposure, it was submitted by user ian.eldred. The journal analyzes the assembly structure and exports a BOM to Excel. A small thumbnail picture of each component is added next to the corresponding entry and the assembly hierarchy is visually represented by Excel groups that you can expand/collapse as desired. The resulting Excel BOM is both useful and visually pleasing. It is a great example of working with Excel in journal code. From ian.eldred:
I wanted to share my first attempt at a Journal file. This Journal is based on the assembly recursion example on this site, but adds in an export to excel with screenshot images. The screenshots are cropped and re-sized to keep the excel file size small. It would be great if others could try it out and let me know if it works on other systems. Please post comments below. Ian
