Re: export BOM and/or Cutlist to excel using script

You should not need a script to export a bom just select the export bom button on the wood functions but it is a bit faster to make a script with the export bom function.

Re: Remove Trim Operation on Group of Parts from Propagation

Re: driver coating and finishing

I assume you don't want to use the catalog function to do this? or if you don't know about this I would suggest using the catalog to do this.
example below: Name the part to change then "."(property to alter)
Tube.refrencence
Tube.coating
Tube.matter

Re: CURVED raised panel profile mismatch

I would say you will have to do it the long way with Profile sketch and Guide curve. I assume your using the moulding function?
