Importing Data From Microsoft Excel

A Simple Example

Go to File/Import From/Excel File.

The following window appears:

Import Data From Excel Window

The left panel is used for importing panels data, while the right one is used for importing parts data.

In order to import data from an Excel file, you need to open it using Microsoft Excel.

Open the Excel file and select the cells you need.

Select the cells containing data you want to import.

Selected Data In Excel

In CutMaster 2D, press Connect to active worksheet. If everything is OK, Preview data button is enabled and the information about the active Excel workbook is displayed.

CutMaster 2D is now connected to the Excel workbook

Press Preview data. Cells in the panel are filled with data from the Excel file. If necessary, data can now be modified directly in the left panel.

Preview of the data

When you are satisfied with the results, press Import. The data appears in the main CutMaster2D window. When you have finished importing panels or parts data, press Done.

The imported data

This example was about importing sheets data. Importing parts data is exactly the same - just use the right panel, instead of the left.
