NX dimensioning w/ Excel Macro
NX dimensioning w/ Excel Macro
(OP)
Hi there,
I've dug around looking for an answer to this for a while now and haven't found much.
I have an excel file controlled with a macro (essentially a list of dimensions that are parametrized to each other in VBA) and I want to link that to an NX model (I'm running 8.5). I'm aware that the expressions dialog can be used to create an excel interface for modifying variables ect. but unsure of how to link variables to an existing excel file, moreover one with macro-controlled cells.
thanks for the help

...so as to force an update of the NX model by reading in any changes from the spreadsheet.
