XLS table in drawing

Little out of the ordinary, but I have a drawing with several sheets
that require a paint colour table for the painters to follow so they one
paint the right colors and two dont paint the inside of the bushings
on the assembly. Paint by numbers anyone?. I have a *.xls file that I
would like linked to a general table in the drawing, better yet, on all
sheets.

So how do I link a *.xls table to a general table on a drawing. The next
step would be how do I have it link to all the general tables on all the
sheets of the drawing, is this as simple as copying the table once the
link has been established?

Cheers,
Ben

 

I believe that you will have to embed the actual excel file into the
sheet -- OLE has an option to link to the original file.
There is no way to link excel cells back to cells in a general table.

Hope that helps
