Export supports dialog and command line interfaces.

•If File Dialog is On in AutoCAD, then export will display a file dialog interface.

•If the File Dialog is Off in AutoCAD, then export will use a command line interface.

This allows other programs to talk to export using the command line interface without a user interface.

The location chosen for a exported job is a “setting” to Solid-CIM 3D. The folder that contains the Job folder becomes the new setting as the default for all Job folders. The default folder for all job folders is C:\rcim_work\SCIM.

When exporting a job you can build a new folder in the file dialog interface and that folder would become the new default setting for export.

Example: If exporting the job TestJob and you built a new folder in the file dialog as C:\Jobs\Current\TestJob, export will place on the files into this folder.

The new default setting for all future jobs will now be C:\Jobs\Current.

Export defaults the folder name to <current folder setting>\jobname. So exporting the job Cabinet1 will automatically produce a folder named C:\Jobs\Current\Cabinet1. All files will be placed in this folder. If you change the name of the folder from the default folder during the file dialog. The automatically created folder will be deleted if its contents are empty.

Solid-CIM 3D (SCIM) export option develops a comma delimited file (.csv) in the following data format. Each line in the file represents one unique part in an assembly. The file does not have a column header line as the first line in the file.

Each comma delimited field is defined as an Excel (CSV) column:

Column	Name	Description
A	Drawing Name	Fully qualified part drawing name.
B	Material	Material Name
C	Quantity	The number of times this part appears in the assembly.
D	Description	Part description in the form of Length X Width X Thickness
E	Stock	Router-CIM material code
F	Length	Length of part in X
G	Width	Width of part in Y
H	Thickness	Height of part in Z
I	Is Rectangular	1 = part is rectangular 0 = non-rectangular
J	Has Top Features	1 = part has top features 0 = no features on top
K	Has Side Features	1 = part has side features 0 = no features on sides
L	Has Bottom Features	1 = part has bottom features 0 = no features on bottom
M	Part Name	Unqualified part drawing name
N	Part Number	Part number (Row number in File)
