# Export to CSV or XLSX

The **List of Instances**, the **Parts List** or the **Summary** can be exported or prepared for a **Copy to Clipboard**.

![Parts Export dialog](https://2764382921-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUSHuV5bThAGZxy7OHb-1972196547%2Fuploads%2FiMXZ0Cei0nHOQKLS0oYy%2FParts%20-%20Export%20Modal.png?alt=media\&token=5457e091-be49-4f9e-8ade-57e2105532ab)

When selecting **List of Instances**, **OpenCutList** exports each part on its own row. **Parts List** and **Summary** export the data as represented on screen.

{% hint style="success" %}
Only visible groups are part of the export. If you hide a group in the **Parts List**, it will not appear in the export. 
{% endhint %}

If units are shown in the **Parts List**, dimensions will be exported with units as well. On the **Customization** tab, rows can be selected, ordered or used to compute derived data.

The **Separator** allows you to select among **Tabulator**, **Comma** or **Semicolon** as the sign to separate columns.

**Encoding** defines how special characters (beyond ASCII) will be encoded in the file. **UTF-8** is a widely supported encoding.

### Copy to Clipboard

By clicking on the **Preview**, you may copy everything (values including headers) or just values to the clipboard.
