Re: design tables in assemblies controlling parts?



OK, I think everyone is missing a solution.

Create your parts via design tables then once you have an assembly design
table complete, link those cells in the part design table to the assembly
design table. This can all be done with just excel, no VB!

You would be required to open all part design tables that the assembly
design table updates.
