PMDX to XLS Converter

About This Tool

The PMDX to XLS Converter ingests a PMDX design file and outputs an Excel workbook. It parses the PMDX structure, flattens hierarchical components into tabular records, and aligns fields to XLS columns. It preserves key data attributes such as part numbers, quantities, materials, and relationships where possible; unsupported or proprietary elements are omitted or summarized.
Conceptually, the tool maps PMDX entities to rows in a primary sheet and uses metadata to create auxiliary sheets for metadata, references, or BOM-like lists. If batch mode is enabled, multiple PMDX inputs are processed into a single workbook with separate sheets or workbooks per file depending on configuration.
Audience and value: design engineers, manufacturing planners, and data teams rely on Excel-based workflows for reporting, cost estimation, and order processing. The unique differentiators include lossless data mapping where feasible, explicit handling of nested structures, and options to auto-generate clean headers and data types to minimize manual cleanup.
Core features and use cases: single-file conversion, batch processing, per-sheet mapping, optional preservation of units, and export to .xls or .xlsx. Typical applications include generating a project BOM, exporting component lists for procurement, and migrating design data to analytics pipelines.
Under the hood, the conversion relies on deterministic field mappings, validation steps for required fields, and a simple error log that records missing fields or incompatible data types without interrupting the entire run.
