Once you have customized the XML file to specify what weight-related attributes should be published, you can now publish the excel file.
Before you begin: You should have an opened product.
-
Perform the weight synthesis of the product.
-
In the weight attributes table, click Publish.
The excel file is published in XML format at the location specified in the options.
If you open the published excel file, you can see that it displays the values
corresponding to the different parts of the assembly. Only the attributes for which you set
the Visible attribute value to YES are displayed. The
color code used for the background of the cells in the Weight column
is the same as the one used to represent the weight definition status after a weight synthesis. For more information, see Performing Weight Synthesis.
Note:
Customized attributes and out-of-the box attributes linked to the references
via interfaces are not taken into account during the publication.
