Trying to link parameters to excel.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Ive recently been playing with some parametres on a model im  making and have decided to create a excel spreadsheet.

I beleive i am doing everything correct, i have a blank excel sheet called "test" which i am linking parametres too, however when they are linked the spreadsheet is no different, completely empty.

HELP!

Cheers

You can't have a blank excel spreadsheet..  You need the parameters in the excel file as well.  Also see this...  http://inventortutorials.blogspot.com/2011/08/using-and-understanding-linked.html

ah! Well ive just tried this and followed it exactly yet there is still no link parametres on the spreadsheet.

I even tried it with a basic extruded rectangle as a test..

What version of Inventor are you using?  ANd what version of Excel or flavor of Office are you using?
