Is it possible to create a table in MicroStation CONNECT and export that table into Excel?
I am aware of being able to import Excel into MicroStation, but not vice versa.
Thanks!

A Table is a visual representation of a Report. You can export a Report to an Excel workbook.

For the Report tool, how do I just export the text content of a regular table?
When do you think that enhancement would be made available? My company would heavily rely on that feature so I'd like to know a timeline to decide if I should spend time exploring more complicated options to achieve this.

I think there are not many alternative options available. What should work is to access table using own application, as far as I know, both C++ and NET APIs provide access to table element.

Can you post a small example DGN file that illustrates your table?
This is targeted for a future release with no timeline yet determined. To increase its priority, I would suggest raising a service ticket and ask for it to be linked with the enhancement number.
Hi Norah,

When I checked MicroStation APIs (especially NET, because it's simpler than C++ one), it seems to access a table content is not very complicated. So when, as you wrote, your company heavily rely on the tables, it makes sense to implement own tool, providing exactly the functionality you need.
I can imagine that to export table content to not excel, but csv, which is in general simpler than to create Excel file, should not be extremely complicated task. Of course, as usually, it depends a lot of other requirements whether it should be dynamic (a user can locate table) or every time all tables will be exported etc.
With regards,

FlexiTable CONNECT Edition may provide a solution. Post a small DGN example.
