I am going over design tables using the built in tutorial and i cant add a design table. I go all the way through the process and there are no objections, press the check mark, and the table doesn't pop up. Even in the configurations manager, it acts like I never added it. anybody know whats going on? I tried this on one of my parts as well to be sure it wasn't a specific part related incident.
I have office, 10 i think (time to upgrade). The table never showed up to begin with. just completely passed over my command and exited the dialogue.
Are you saying that when you're in a part file - Insert/Tables/Design Tables - does nothing ??
Check these settings
That's exactly what I'm saying John. It was a messed up situation. It let me go through the entire dialogue of creating the table then never executed, its like the process died when i hit the check mark. I had an issue with an update and had to reinstall my OS just after that and I lost my MSoffice. I don't have access to the disks either, so for now that's out of the question... I didn't want to pay big bucks for office so I ordered a new BOXX with a new MSOffice installed. That, hopefully, will solve that problem.
And may I ask whomever approves this why I'm being Moderated?!
You're being moderated since the last big spam attack and especially if you haven't posted in a while. They just want to make sure you're a real person and once approved etc. you be able to post like normal.
Yep - MS office is the disconnect
you should give driveworks a shot, it does what config tables can and alot more. There is a free version and a trial for the solo.
not only that it has great tutorials, I picked it up in no time.
depends on your company needs, for my job it is a great fit.
( i do not know if driveworks also needs excel)
Francisco: DriveWorks only requires Excel (or Word) at the Pro level, and even then it only requires it when you are capturing or driving an Excel (or Word) document.
i don't even really use design tables as of right now but i wanted to to my CSWP exam and i need to be able to use it at least for that.
I never thought I would use, so for years I had zero interest untill now
do you actually manage to create a table or does one not pop up at all, if the later then it is easy, you must have MS office installed, SW uses MS excel to create its tables.
Stu...
p.s. oh and it needs to be a xcel 2007 or above I think!
