List Properties To CSV

List Properties To CSV

File: Part_Document_Scripts/List_Properties_To_CSV.py
Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part

---

Description

Exports the name, geometry type and visual properties of every hybrid shape in a selected geometric set (recursively including all child sets) to a CSV file. Useful for auditing visual styles, generating a reference style sheet, or comparing properties across parts.

The CSV is saved next to the CATPart. If the document has not been saved, the file is written to the Downloads folder instead.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
Open document	Part

---

Usage

1. Open a CATPart document containing a geometric set
2. Run the script
3. A CATIA selection prompt appears — select the geometric set to export
4. The script iterates all shapes recursively and writes the CSV
5. The output path is printed to the console on completion

CSV Columns

Column	Description
Geometric Set	Full path of the containing set (e.g. Surfaces/ISM)
Name	Shape name
Type	Geometry type name from GeometricalFeatureType enum (e.g. Point, Curve, Line, Circle, Surface, Plane, Solid_Volume)
R / G / B	Real colour components (0–255), or N/A if undefined
Line Weight	Human-readable weight (e.g. 1.0mm), or N/A if undefined
Line Type	Human-readable type (e.g. Solid, Dashed), or N/A if undefined
Opacity	Transparency level (e.g. 100%, 50%), or N/A if undefined

Line Weight Values

Index	Weight
1	0.13 mm
2	0.35 mm
3	0.7 mm
4	1.0 mm
5	1.4 mm
6	2.0 mm
7	2.3 mm
8	2.6 mm
9–55	0.13 mm (custom slots)

2	Dashed
3	Long Dash
4	Dash-Dot
5	Dash-Double Dot
6	Dotted
7	Long Dash-Dot

Notes

• Geometry type is resolved using the GeometricalFeatureType enum; unknown values are written as Unknown(<int>)
• Properties with status catVisPropertyUnDefined (e.g. line weight on a point) are written as N/A
• The output filename follows the pattern <PartName>_<SetName>_Properties.csv
