Parameters not linked after file move

Hi,

 

I've got a file which has linked parameters to an excel sheet however I've moved all the file to another location which has meant the link has been broken with the sheet. When I re-link the sheet in the new location nothing happens. Is there any way I can easily fix this/ Have the lnik auto change when the file is moved?

 

Thanks,

What version of Inventor are you using?  I'm on 2020.3 and this works fine.  If the part and spreadsheet are in the same folder and both get moved to the same folder, it finds the new location automatically.  If they are in different folders, I have to RMB on the excel file under 3rd Party in the browser and select change source, then I can just pick the file from the new location.

 

A couple of things to check:

Did the start cell of the information change in the excel file?

Is the new location within your project workspace?

Hi! I think you are on Inventor 2021. And, the Excel file is on a server. We are investigating an issue sounding very similar to yours. Somehow when the Excel file is on a server path, the update is not happening correctly.

Many thanks!
