Custom Plates CSV
The Custom Plates CSV exports plate part data as CSV files, which can be opened in spreadsheet applications or imported into other systems.
Output
- Format: ZIP containing one CSV file (or XLS file) per group
- Content: Plate parts with the columns you select: Material, Plate Size W*L, Width, Length, Height, Part Count, Part Reference, Project, Panel Name, Finish and Comments. All are on by default.
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Export CSV file as XLS file | Write each file as XLS instead of CSV. |
| Add column names in the first row | Add a header row. |
| Separator | ; (default) or ,. |
| Group parts from the report in the same folder | By Phase, By Batch (default), By Panel or By Selected Panels: one file per phase, batch or panel, or one file for everything. |
| Selectable Columns | The columns to include. |
With Select by Part Batches on, you pick part batches instead of panels and get one file per part batch.
When to Use
Use this report when you need raw plate data in a format that can be imported into external tools — for example, ERP systems, cutting optimization software, or custom spreadsheets.
