I followed these steps:
I thought that this would allow data to be passed back and forth between the external and internal tables. Edits made to the external table, however, do not update either the internal table or the model. What am I doing wrong?
Hello Bill,
The procedure is all correct from your part.
After Inserting the external table (From File) and checked Link to File, save the model and close it.
then open the external table, and make the changes as required and save and close it.
Then open the part model, while opening a windows pop ups as below:-
Say Ok and Proceed,
you will find the relevant changes as desired in the Part File.
My mistake was in thinking that the changes were dynamic and that the model would update as the new values were put into the Excel table. Now I realize that the changes only are relected in the model after it has been re-opened.
