Designated Components Report

Export a designation map of named assembly components — the same spreadsheet Designator File → Save writes.

The Designated Components Report is the designation map for the current assembly. It is the same spreadsheet Designator writes with File → Save. How to name components: Designate Components.

When to run it

Run it when you need a map of designations, component paths, and placement without opening Designate Components — for review, import later, or AutoAssemble / Geometry Copier inputs that consume designations. Assemblies only.
