Link excel parameters file in IDW

[Anonymous]

You can link a excel file in a part and assembly file, but this is (surprisingly) not possible in a idw file. Please add this!

When I need to make a dozen of drawings for a certain assembly where only a few dimensions change, I want to use illogic to update the drawing linked on parameters from excel.

This works perfect on assembly level when linking the excel with an assembly, but surprisingly you cant do this on drawing level as you cant link an excel in a idw….

Seems there is a little bit of a work-around (although this does not fix it for me):

Manage -> insert -> Existing file -> excel (link)

And once you have that turn vivibility off for the table thats created...

BUT! now it still can not be used within the ilogic as it can in a assembly or part....
