Updating Imported Excel Data BOM to Drawing

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow link an existing Excel file with a drawing I have created. I want to (if possible) link my existing BOM data (excel file) with my drawing and when I update the excel file I want the drawing BOM table to also be updated. I don't know if this is possible but would be great as at least from my experience creating and formatting individual columns/rows is not fun at all (hahaha). 

 

Thanks for any replies!

PTC = "Parametric Technology Corporation". Everything is driven by "parameters". I doubt your personal Excel files can be defined as some "driving parameters". Some experts here may know more.

Yes, it is possible. One option is to use an external application.
