Drivind a part or an assy with Excel

    Hello all

    We are making professional cooking appliances. Usually, we build separate
    units that are mounted side by side (400 to 800mm).

    In a few months, we will be selling custom built tops (up to 2800mm). They
    will be made with one solid top, the appliances mounted in cuts made on the
    top.

    I am setting up an excel sheet describing the top (kind of appliance,
    number, position on the top.), and I want that this sheet drives directly
    the cuts on the top.

    If all goes well, I could also build an assy of the cooking top from the
    same sheet.

    I wonder if anyone has examples of such a project, or a how-to.



    TIA

    JM

    I know how to do it (link external excel sheet and the design table), and I
    am moving into the project at a nice path. The 'external driving' being just
    a small part of the job.

    I just thought I could take profit of some example, but at this time I have
    passed this point.

    Thanks a lot for your answer, and your attention.
