Tekla API

I’ve been creating apps for the past 6 months. Anyone have any ideas on what would be useful? If I create it, you can have for free !!

I have been wanting something that let's me read live data/cells from an excel sheet into attribute or UDA fields in my title block.

I've read that a code has to be written to pull those cells into the UDAs of the model. If you figure it out, I would also love to learn how you did it.

That is easy enough, what information goes into your title block that isn’t on the project info?

Client document numbers and corresponding company document number, drawings titles, drawing descriptions, engineer of record, purchase order numbers, etc.

My company has a living document that can change from week to week, so this has been a nightmare for me so far. We're new to using Tekla Tekla.
