Cut list not exporting

Post by Iain Hall »

Most times when I use cut list and hit "export to excel" it appears in what looks like excel format but is in open in Iexplorer and does not give an option for saving, rarely when I hit "export to excel" it will give the option of "open" "save" etc. I can then save it and open with excel and all is good any ideers anyone

Iain, I am having the same problem with exporting the cut list to excel. Must be a bug that was created when they turned off the store.

Try this:

Double-click My Computer
Select Tools/Folder Options
Select File Types
Scroll down and select .XLS
Select the Advanced button

You should have a dialog box for Edit File Type and there should be a check box for Confirm open after download. If this box is checked you will get the prompt.

I'm using XP Home

I Right Click in the Blue Export to excel link

Select Save Target As

Save to specified folder

It should save as a full excel file

Thanks all I also figured out it stores it in the temp folder so I have been just getting it from there but tried Rob's idea and that works much better

Thanks Dan and Rob, both ways worked. I use excel to clean up the cut list and arrange the order of the parts the way I like. I wish that there was a way to arrange and clean up the cut list order in ecabinets without exporting.

Thanks
