How to get calculated values in a general table?

I'm trying to put together a charted drawing with Model States but the table is reading in the typed value not the calculated value, not very useful for me. Is there a way to get the calculated value in a table? Alternatively, is there a way to get reference dimensions to show in a table? I've tried putting the name if that dimension in the model state excel table but it just erases it. I could write a rule but it seems like this should be built in.

Hi! The General Table workflow literally gets the content of an embedded Excel object. In your case, the content of a particular cell is a parameter. This needs to be computed in Inventor before the value can appear.

There could be a way to do it using an iLogic rule or Excel Macro. But, it may not be straightforward.

Many thanks!

Hi! The General Table simply gets the content of the Excel spreadsheet, which is the parameter name. The actual parameter value, needs Inventor to calculate, since the parameter can be linked to an equation. For example, d234 = d0 + d1.

What you are looking for isn't available in General Table. I think you will need to edit the iPart/iAssembly table and change it to an actual value, so that it can appear in the General Table.

Many thanks!
