Data extraction from XREF created with smart components

Dear all,
my setup contains a model for structure (BIM) and an xref with smart components (Mechanical). I have chosen this setup since I started in Mechanical and when binding the xref into the model I loose all smart logic. Now I would like to create schedules from within the model. I have create a DXD file as follows:

[Settings]
ExtractFromBlocks=1
ExtractFromXrefs=1
CountXrefs=0
CombineEqualRows=1
IncludeNameColumn=1

[Entity Types]
*

[Properties]
Component name|Component name|
Size|Nennweite|
Rating|Druckstufe|

When inserting this via BIM into the model I receive information contained only in the model not in the xref. Any hints on how to proceed or to setup differently are highly appreciated.
Kind regards
Sebastian

  • Found a solution:

    1#Create custom DXD using DATAEXTRACTION from a defined DWG
    2#Load DXD within the project browser as a schedule and load to target file
    3#Review BOQ and adapt iteratively the DXD file in a text editor

    A sample DXD might look like
