Progress reporting views automation

[LouiS]

Hi there !

I am trying to automate as much as possible a progress report view.
Currently, here is my workflow:

1. Opening my smc file
2. Update my classification thanks to an autogenerated excel file (which make the difference between the elements built and the one built this month)
3. Opening preset presentation view and update it with the new classification with a drawing as footprint (I have to double click on the drawing show/hide because it is vanishing when click on the new classification) - so the output is a drawing with colored elements on top of it depending if they have been built this month or previously
4. Exporting a excel report with picture

So I would like to know if you also try to create views for progress reporting and if it is with Solibri. And if you have any clue how I could automate the workflow as much as possible (basically I wanted to use the autorun to do it but it looks hard to accomplish).

Thank you !

Hello Louis,
Am very interested by the automatisation of Solibri, and i would like to know if it is possible to share how did you manage to update classification with autogenerated excel file

thanks

Hello,
This is the question
Sorry if it wasn’t clear. Here above are the steps I am doing manually. The idea is trying to automate it so I just have to autorun my file to get the output.

I already try to automate it but for now I am still stuck. Here are my thoughts:

1. Easy to do !
2. I think it is impossible to link dynamically a classification in Solibri to an excel (you can only import it manually) so:
   • Either we edit the file.Classification (which doesn’t look easy because with a text editor it is unreadable)
   • Either we try to use a rule linked to an excel file to highlight the proper elements (I more or less manage to do so but then you have no option displaying both “classification” and their color)
3. I didn’t try this one because I wasn’t able to get the wanted output for the previous step but they are few function to play with issues and presentation (still it looks hard to accomplish)
4. Also easy with the autorun

I don’t know what exactly you want to do but if your classification is not meant to change, you can use the autorun to open the file you want apply the classification and get the output.
