Exporting

Everything you export is derived live from the document — the CSV files and drawing sheets always match what the tables and canvas show on screen. All exports start from the ☰ file menu (the button in the top-left that shows the current file name) under the Export submenu:

Menu item	Output
Wire list / cut list (CSV)	One row per conductor, with routed lengths
BOM (CSV)	Aggregated parts and wire quantities
Technical drawing (SVG)…	Print-style drawing sheets, SVG or vector PDF

Where the file goes depends on how you run the tool: the desktop app opens a native save dialog, Chromium-based browsers use the File System Access save picker, and other browsers fall back to a plain download.

Export the cut list

Choose ☰ → Export → Wire list / cut list (CSV), or open the Cut List pane view and click its ⭳ Export CSV toolbar button — both produce the same file, named <document-name>-cutlist.csv.

Columns:

Column	Contents
Harness	The isolated harness the wire belongs to (see Harness groups)
From, From Pin	Source node and cavity
To, To Pin	Destination node and cavity
Signal	Net name, preferring the from-end’s signal
Gauge	Wire gauge
Color	Resolved color name
Length (<unit>)	Cut length in the document’s length unit
Status	Route status: ok, unrouted, ambiguous, or override

The CSV is strict RFC 4180: fields containing commas or quotes are quoted, and every record ends in CRLF so Excel parses it correctly in all locales. Missing data (an unrouted length, an unnamed color) exports as an empty field rather than the text “undefined”.

Tip

Lengths come from trunk routing in the layout view. If the Status column shows unrouted or ambiguous, connect the affected nodes with trunks first — see Layout.

Export the BOM

Choose ☰ → Export → BOM (CSV), or click ⭳ Export CSV in the BOM pane view. The file is named <document-name>-bom.csv with four columns: Category, Description, Quantity, Unit.

Rows are grouped and sorted by category in this order: device, connector, accessory, contact, plug, terminal, cable, wire, sleeving. Discrete parts are counted in ea; wire, cable, and sleeving quantities are totals in the document’s length unit. Quantities are rounded to two decimals, exactly matching the on-screen BOM panel. Loose wires without a resolvable route length are left out of the wire totals — they aren’t purchasable quantities yet.

Generate technical drawings

Choose ☰ → Export → Technical drawing (SVG)… to open the Technical drawing dialog. Despite the menu label, the dialog exports either format — a Format toggle selects PDF (the default) or SVG.

The sheet is generated directly from the document data — it is never a screenshot of the canvas. Each sheet contains, top to bottom:

1. The layout drawing — nodes at their layout positions scaled to fit the sheet, trunks drawn as dimension lines carrying their lengths, connectors as boxes with their real mating-face glyphs, terminal lugs, splices, junction dots, devices as dashed boxes, and notes as text. Black linework on white, print-ready.
2. The wire schedule — the cut list scoped to what’s drawn, with columns #, From, To, Signal, Ga, Color, and Length, including wire color swatches. Unresolvable lengths print their status in red.
3. A title block — document name, sheet scope (the harness name or Complete layout), connector and wire counts, units, export date, Sheet i / n numbering for multi-sheet packs, and a blank Rev: ______ line you can mark up by hand.

Choose what to draw

The dialog lists one button per scope:

• Whole layout — everything in the document on a single sheet.
• One button per detected harness (⌁ <name>) — a sheet containing just that isolated bundle and its scoped wire schedule. Per-harness sheets are what a builder actually works from. Harnesses are detected automatically from your trunk topology and can be named — see Harness groups.
• All sheets — PDF only, shown when more than one harness is detected: one PDF with the whole layout as page 1 followed by one page per harness.

If the dialog reports no bundles yet, draw trunks in the layout view first; each isolated harness then gets its own sheet.

Format details

PDF output is true vector — not an embedded image — so linework stays crisp at any print size and text remains selectable. There is no paper-size picker: every page uses A4-landscape width, and page height follows the sheet’s own content — a long wire schedule grows the page instead of clipping. Use your print dialog’s scale-to-fit to put a page on real paper. The very first PDF export in a session may take a moment longer than later ones while the PDF engine initializes.

SVG saves a single sheet per file, ideal for further editing or embedding; the all-sheets pack is PDF-only.

Export file names

File names derive from the document name (lowercased, spaces to dashes):

Export	File name
Whole layout	<name>-drawing.svg / .pdf
Single harness	<name>-<harness-name>.svg / .pdf
All sheets	<name>-drawings.pdf

Note

The cut list and BOM CSVs always cover the whole document. To get a per-harness paper cut list, use a per-harness drawing sheet — its wire schedule is scoped to that harness — or filter the CSV’s Harness column in a spreadsheet.
