Linking a Second Data Extraction (.dxex) External Reference

[Jake_PCH]

I have created the 2 data extractions ("A" & "B") which I want linked to 2 separate tables within a drawing - I cannot attach them so willy include screenshots to assist in explanation.

I can link the contents of one (ie. A) into a data extraction table by updating the path of the data extraction within the external references tab.

However, I cannot see a way to introduce a second data extraction external reference to be able to link the contents of the second into a second data extraction table, as indicated below.

Is there a way to achieve this?

@Jake_PCH ,

Like to try with your *.dxex files, please ZIP and attach.

I didn't think of ZIPing - see attached.

@Jake_PCH ,

Also attach your drawing.

The error message you received touches on my query - Is there a way of referencing a .dxex file without using the original drawing file?

@Jake_PCH ,

Sorry, the only way I can think of doing this is by using Data Link followed by the Table command.
