Parts book

Parts book

No permission to download
Sorry, didn't realise that by uploading just the text files it would hide the PDFs and ZIPs. All should be visible now.
The text file versions of the parts book didn't upload when marked as as TSV files so I've renamed them as .TXT, they should still load into Excel if needed
With thanks to @Davren I now have access to the database for release 20 of ePer.

I have re-written my code to produce the parts book so that it can work from both release 20 and 84 of ePer.
Which version should you use? Where Fiat has discontinued parts these may be missing from the later version but the later release will have more up to date part numbers so it can be worth checking both.

For each release I have uploaded three files:
  • a PDF that contains the entire parts book for the release
  • a ZIP file containing a PDF file for each section of the parts book
  • a TSV file that contains a tab-delimited text file containing all of the parts suitable for loading into Excel

In addition to the changes to support release 20 I have made a few changes and fixes to the underlying code
  • Cliches are better handled. Cliches are the expansion of a part into its sub-components. I think the old code did not cope well where a part was exploded into multiple cliches.
  • Code refactored to make it easier to add support for other releases of ePer. The database structure evolved a fair deal between the two releases and the code had to change to support that.
  • Added code to support the structured file type used to hold images in release 20
  • Code added to support export as a flat file.
All the code is available at https://github.com/OldBoyCoder/ePerPartsListGenerator where you will find some documentation of the database formats in the two releases.

As it states in the README I have tested this as best I can but there is no guarantee I have got everything right so always double check with ePer itself. In theory the code will work for other models in ePer but since I only have a Barchetta that's the only car I've tested. I welcome suggestions for improvements or reports of errors.
