Generate parts + drawing from a model automatically

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello everyone,

We would need to generate about 300 parts + drawings from a model with a few dimensions that differ.
We have all the dimensions in an excel file, and we would like, like a " direct mail " in word, to automatically generate these 300 pieces.

I think the approach corresponds to the creation of a family of parts, but after that, how can we generate this number of important files and produce the pdf plans... dxf... CAM file etc in automatic?

If you have a tip, I'm all for it!

Thank you all
Olivier

Hello and welcome

For " all auto ", I see only a macro.

But I don't really know how to use it, I've already tried it but it's not great.

Hello;
I will push the " Room Family " side further with a table / Nomenclature that summarizes the dimensions of each:

If your pieces are identical to a few dimensions, I would also generate them via a family table in 3d and a chalkboard plan in 2D

If you ever want to stay on standalone components, you can use the trial version (14 days) of ' Drew ' published by Cadbooster:
