PDM Works and External Excel DT's
PDM Works and External Excel DT's
(OP)
We are just setting up PDM Works, and had a question which our Solidworks rep could not seem to answer...
We have a number of parts/assemblies that are driven by external excel design tables (which are in turn driven by a master excel table). When we check-in the parts/assemblies into the vault, the design tables do not seem to go with them? If we attach the excel tables (as attachments) to the parts in the vaults, the external references dont seem to update.
How can we use the vault, and keep all the links and references to the external design tables intact? Does anyone else use external DT's in this way?
