Export Fab notes as a text file

I would like to be able to copy my fab notes from my database and export as a .txt file.

This way my board house can easily edit the notes to their specifications and hopefully I could import in their modified text file

You'll have a much easier time giving a 'fab notes' document to your fab house, have them mark it up and give it back. You should only need to change 1-5 or so notes, and it would be easy for them. If you make it too taxing for the fab house they may give you the brush off. I don't see an 'easy button' way of accomplishing what you're asking for.

Better yet - Set 'text' in the find filter; select all the text; SHOW ELEMENT, and save that file as .txt file. Import that into eXcel; do a sort (so the notes come together); delete all the useless stuff. Then simply rearrange the notes in order; and 'save as' an MSDOS text file. It's a little tedious, but will do it. I still revert to my original statement - I wouldn't take the time to do it.

eXcel is my 2nd favorite tool, behind Cadence Allegro. If offers A LOT of flexibilities to mix-n-match and convert all sorts of text/numbers/etc.

You could setup the plot to use a Windows font, print the text to PDF, and then copy and paste the text from the pdf.

I agree with CadAce12K: get feedback from fab shop and decide how you want to revise your notes.
