As I keep my inventory in a custom database which uses the BL parts and categories
as core data, I was wondering if there is a way to download the "Item Relationships"
as a CSV file.
Currently I am working on a way to complete MOCs from my existing inventory.
This means I load a "wanted list" for the MOC into my system and then I get an
output of which of my lots match the items on that list. As my inventory is carefully
maintained reflecting all part variants I only get the exact same part into my
list. For my MOCs I do often not care which part I am using.
E.g. if I have some
 
Part No: 92950  Name: Arch 1 x 6 Raised Arch
* 
92950 Arch 1 x 6 Raised Arch
Parts: Arch
on my wanted list, it would be nice to show also
the
 
Part No: 3455  Name: Arch 1 x 6
* 
3455 Arch 1 x 6
Parts: Arch
I might have in my inventory.

To implement this functionality I would like to use the BL Item Relationship
"Similar Parts with Different Molds".
Unfortunately I cannot find a way to download this information as raw data.
Any Idea other than entering these manually?

Thank you very much!
