Inspection Reports

Can one extract information from a Solidworks Drawing to create an
"Inspection Plan & Report" (IP&R) or "Inspection Report"? I'm looking
to extract dimensions, geo tols and in some cases notes.

We are looking for a way of automating this task as opposed to
re-entering data from the drawing onto a MS Word form.

Any information you give would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Note: we are currently using SolidWorks 2004

 

Just a thought - can you do things in reverse, such as use a design table
that drives the part, has notes, etc, and can be exported & printed?

Yes this can be done. When I was at the last place of employment we
had this done into a microsoft excel worksheet for less than $2000.
It also "numbered" all the dimensions for our people in quality to
match or excel based inspection report. The man that wrote that
program for us was Bob Hanson. He can be reached at....... I'm not
sure. But he posts out here from time to time. Hopefully he will
answer to this post.
