[rando]

Hi!

Can somebody recommend some plugins or programs to help me export data about the groups and components using csv files.

ComponentReporter++ ?

Thanks!

I don't know, if im using Component Reporter properly.

What I want is the dimensions and quantities of groups and components to appear in one csv file, so I can process the data with Excel and then with Max Cut for example.

The basic "ComponentReporter++" is but a 'framework'...
If you want the object's 'sizes' you'll probably need to add or substitute column as 'instance.bounds' .width/.depth/.height [with suitable unit conversions ?]
You can extract a lot of info from a group/instance... so customize the output as you want...

Do I have to learn to use the Ruby Console for that? There's no menu for that kind of cosumization.

The tool runs from the Plugins menu item.
BUT if you edit the .rb file with Notepad [or Notepad++ recommended] you can customize what it reports.
Even make your own custom-reporter based on the code...

Groups/ComponentInstances have lots of available info to extract.
Look at the basic reporter's output...
You just need to 'get' what you want and report that...
It does XYZ dims from the bounds so that is probably what you want ?
