Extract Data from Mechanical Parts & Assembly Documents
Mechanical documentation covers more ground than a single drawing or BOM: parts lists, assembly instructions, and combined spec-and-drawing packages that mix several kinds of data on one page. Datafromfile recognizes the shared mechanical field vocabulary across these documents (Part Number, Material, Mass, Length, Width, Height, Thickness, Diameter) so the extraction adapts to whichever mechanical document you actually have.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from the BOM extractor? The BOM extractor is tuned specifically for parts-list tables (part number, quantity, description). This page covers the broader set of mechanical documents (assembly instructions and mixed spec/drawing packages) that don't always take that exact table shape.
