You can export Selection Lists from P\&ID or 3D.

Then you select which Selection List you want to export.

Next, you click on the "..." button to open the file dialog and choose a folder and file name. The extension is CSV.

Last, you must define a CSV separator. This typically depends on your Windows settings. In most regions it is either "," or ";".
