Dave,
Thanks for your help and input. I was hoping to hear: Yeah, we have done
that, here is the Macro !
No, we didn't use (your link) for parts. We created our own components.
I tried using the one you mentioned. I can't get the excel notes
to update the drawing.
I enter:
#40 chain
72 teeth
50 teeth
127" center-to-center
I get the following error: WARNING, Cell B54 MUST be 2 or Greater, adjust
above B54 =
How do get rid of the error?
And how do I get the table to update the ipt file?
Thanks,
Peter
