Macro for batch replacing Design Table?

Hello,

Just wondering if there is a macro where you nominate an Excel file as
a Design Table and then have it inserted into a selection of parts as a
single batch operation?

Typically you would otherwise have to open each part, right click on
existing Design Table icon in the Feature Tree (if it already has a
design table in it), select Edit Feature, then select Source "From
File" to select the Excel file.

Cheers

Yeah, you should be able to use DesignTable::FileName to change the
referenced excel file. So your macro would be pretty simple.

1. Point it at a directory of parts
2. Get list of all parts
3. Open part and determine if it has a design table
4. If so then call ModelDoc2::GetDesignTable and then
DesignTable::FileName = "whatever you decide."
5. Save the part
6. Close the part

Tada!
