Hi All,
I created a template for backing sheet for general purpose of creating P&ID.In it, I need to add some tables that differ for project to project.
Since the filling up of table values is comparativley easy in Excel, I linked the table to a standard Excel sheet in a particular location and linked it using 'Datalink' command.
I created the link and saved the file with the tables linked to the excel sheet, as a template file for backing sheet.
Now my issues are :
(i) When ever my projects differ, and I need to use the same template for the Backing sheet for a second project, the values entered by the user go and sit in the first project's drawing.
(ii)Also, when I am trying to use the Excel sheet linked template in another PC, the datalink for the tables doesnt work as it is freezed with the previous PC where I had created it earlier.
These issues associated with the Datalink error does not allow me to use the datalink option for the tables as a template file , so that the user could use it as the bakcing sheet and use it multiple number of times in many projects.
I hope I could make my point clear.
Please help me out of this ..
Thanks.. a lot
