I'm guessing you don't like the reports?

Here is a video on the SketchUp reporting solution we have been working on.

RE: Export For CAM software
I use a script to export the Entity Information, Attributes, and Outline (BOM Structure) from the SUP drawing into CSV files. But the CSVs are not "flat files", they use the EntityID to link records between each file after they have been imported into a database. I have attached samples of the files, perhaps the Data functions inside OpenOffice can help "flatten" the attribute information? or they could be imported into an OpenOffice Base ".odb" database, then you could write queries? Not sure if OpenOffice can link to the .csv files like MS Access does, and then you wouldn't have to re-import each time? Anyways, the script is very BETA at this point.

RE: Export For CAM software
I think holes will work better if a component is used, that way center point is easy to determine, and overall number of entities is reduced. Thinking there would be a component for 5mm system holes, 8mm construction holes, etc, and an attribute for export DXF layer. For routing paths, I think a DXF Export Layer attribute should handle tool diameter, depth of cut, any cutter compensation, and lead in/outs, depending on the CAM post. So the plan is to create a script that writes a DXF for each face thats defined for machining and create any routing and/or drilling on that face.

RE: Export For CAM software
We are currently working on a project to export data from SUP to the 2020 Shopware software Product Planner. We are also beginning work on a reporting program to generate PDF and text files, but having trouble finding a solution that will work on both PC and Mac. Future plans do include SUP plug-ins for defining and exporting CNC machining operations to a DXF file.
