I had created a design table in a part with around 24 configurations. In that design table I am doing some calculations for dimensions of each part. Everythings been fine. I needed to go into the design table today, and now I can not edit it. I've attached the part file. Any help would be appreciated.
Looks like a corrupt file. Send it to your VAR.
You can even add another design table in this file so you get to have 2 design tables!!! Now you can edit them, but if you delete any one of them you are back to square one - no edit option.
Do not use this file further until you get it repaired.
Try first open excel, (empty), and then right click on the designated table in solidworks and clicking the edit table.
From creating to edit whenever I have to do so. I have windows 7 ultimate, computer big ... , and office 2010
No good, I still cannot ope the design table
I do not know what can cause this problem. Attached a sample file. Try to edit the table
I'm not sure what happened either. I did have a backup file and could edit the table in it. The only thing I could think of is the file got corrupted after I had created some Custom File Properties.
I could open and edit the design table in the part you sent Thomasz
Same thing happened to me today. Right clicking on the DT does not show the 'edit' option. I sent it to my VAR for repair. I told my boss I'd be done with this project today, and discovered it in final checks
Daniel,
It has happened to me on one or more occasion. I do some calculations in the design table and the best practice I found is when you make a change in the design table is to save it to an external file as a backup.
Happened to me again, and I was able to pinpoint when it happened. I didnt have excel open in the background. I had a pretty clean machine - no excess programs running. Not sure why it went corrupt.
I sent the original to my VAR, and she basically said the DT would have to be recreated. To do this, add another DT (but dont delete any configs when you exit it when it asks!). Delete both DT's Now add another, and use auto create. Clean up the table. Sucks, I know, but its better than starting from scratch. I'm on 2010 SP5, win7-64.
So, here it is, SW2011 and Solidworks and Excel STILL don't play nice.
Hi I am using Solidworks 2016 SP4.0 with Excel 2013. I have found that ANYTIME I tried to double click a design table that is in a drawing I get the file is corrupt error even though I am able to edit it in the model. Don't Save!!! I still dont know why this happens. I also get times where the rightmost column is cut off when inserted into drawing. Cant figure out why that happens either.
I also just submitted a feature enhancement request that should help with use of tables for tabulated drawings. See
ER #: | 1-16657929612 |
and please be sure to vote. The goal with this is to avoid using DTs in drawings and have more flexible with current tools such as syntax.
