Generating a Custom Design Sheet for RMxprt

RMxprt allows users to import all the data items of Design Output into a Microsoft Excel worksheet in order for users to design Design Sheet of their own styles according to their own requirements using Microsoft Excel.

Before you can specify a design sheet, you first need to customize a template in Microsoft Excel and set the export options.

To set the export options:

  1. Click RMxprt > Design Settings.
    The Design Settings dialog box appears. Select the Export Options tab.
  2. In the Design Sheet section, specify an Excel Template by clicking the ... button, selecting the template you want to use, and clicking Save.
  3. Click OK.

To create a design sheet based on a previously-customized template after the design has been analyzed:

  1. Click RMxprt > Analysis Setup > Export.
    The Export dialog box appears.
  2. Select Customized Design Sheet from the Type drop-down menu.
  3. Choose the Solution Setup from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the Path field, enter the location to export the files to, or use the ellipsis (...) button to browse to the desired location.
  5. Click OK.

RMxprt will connect to Microsoft Excel according to the set path and automatically import the relevant data from Design Output into a copy of the customized Design Sheet Template. Specific data not available in Design Output is shown as N/A, for instance, RS in Slot Sizes is N/A (mm) when stop type is 1. The post-processing of data is automatically performed, for instance, Winding Weight is 0.947 (kg).

Note: Several Design Sheet examples are shipped with RMxprt in the examples subdirectory of your installation.
