Managing a material library from an Excel file?

Hello

I'm creating a new material library and I was wondering if it was possible to create/modify materials from an Excel file, a bit like a part family.

Thank you for your feedback if you have a solution to fill in material properties other than the SW interface.

You can use SelectMaterial in the MyCadtools tools that you should have access to free of charge as a MyCadServices subscriber:

This makes it much easier to use a material library.

On the other hand, no modification from excel but from their software it is possible and simpler in my opinion

Hi there,

It's really useless, try SelectMaterial but it's just a new presentation of the classic materials window, no management of the material database possible !? You can't sort (alphabetically...) the different subjects between them or move them by group in folders... In the interface you are forced to right click and go up / down the material to place it in the right alphabetical place... If I missed something that can solve this please let me know ;-)
