I'm writting a macro that inserts a design table from an Excel file using: Part.InsertFamilyTableOpen "designtable.xls" which works for the most part.
This is basically the same as clicking "Insert->DesignTable->from File". However, When you do this maunally there is a check box that says "Link to file" which I believe sets the DesignTable.LinkedToFile property to "True".
Would anyone have any idea how to set this property in a macro?
Set DesignTable.LinkedToFile = True doesn't work. :-(
TIA
George,
Just use the following without the "Set" before "DesignTable.LinkTofile". The LinkToFile property is a boolean (true/false), therefore you don't need to use "Set"
DesignTable.LinkToFile = TRUE
Steve
Thanks, but... that doesn't seem to work either.
"DesignTable.LinkToFile = TRUE" returns "Object doesn't support this property or method"
:-(
If I understand things correctlly.... DesignTable is the Object, and LinkTofile is the property.
Where DesignTable is (in this case) defined by "Set DesignTable = Part.GetDesignTable". Part is defined by "Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc"
Am I missing something stupid here?
Never mind.......
It's a SolidWorks problem. I've been banging my head thinking I was doing something wrong.
