3.5 Creating a CSV file

The function for creating CSV files can only be called up in the tree view (left
window) via the CSV File context menu.
Based on the filter, this function creates a CSV file that contains all the NC data of
the selected group or machine and, depending on how the system is configured,
the associated field contents (e.g. name, type, release, etc.). The file is stored in
the directory ...Siemens\MCIS\Data\DNC\CSV.
Under HKCU\Software\siemens\mcis\dnc\settings, you can also create a Windows-
user-specific key CSVPath that can be used for defining a different directory for
saving the CSV file.
You can open the file created in the Notepad editor or Microsoft Excel.
Note
The user must be assigned the necessary authorizations for these functions.
