Project: Cell Text Extraction Tool
Customer: Consumer Products Company
Problem: Needed to extract contents of title block fields for document management system.
Solution: Developed CellExtract, which extracts text element data (including enter data fields) from within cells to a delimited ASCII report file.

Highlights:

  • Configurable - setup  file specifies cell names and which fields within each cell to extract
  • Efficient - operates in batch mode or on a single file
  • Accurate - output log file reports cells found in each design file

Example Relay Cells (Railway Signal) with Enter Data Fields Example Relay Cells with Data Fields to Extract

 "File",   "Cell", "Field 1", ..."Field n"
“test.dgn”, “RELAY”, “2E”,  “TR”, “W”, “ER”
“test.dgn”, “BATT”, “670”, “2”

“test.dgn”, “RELAY”, “2W”, “TR”, “E”, “ER”
“test.dgn”, “BATT”,“670”, “2”
                 ASCII Cell Data Report File

Report file may then be used to create bill of materials, takes-offs, schedules, and bulkload databases
