I've taken this particular table, and inserted it onto two different drawings, which will be using the same information, one is the Saturday table I used in last weeks blog, the other, a blanket chest for a different project.įor this scenario, I'm going to say that Reed Wood Supply has been purchase by "Blue Sun" (who recognizes that movie reference?).

The Excel table used in my previous blog. I used it as a quick way of inserting standard information without recreating the table.

Taking the example I used in my last blog post, I used Excel to create a chart that showed small tools and preferred vendors for a wood working project. In other words, the Excel table can be updated, and all files looking at that table update as well. When the Excel table is inserted onto the drawing, it maintains a link back to the Excel file, which make it what many like to refer to as "a single source of truth".

In last weeks blog post, I showed how to insert a table created in Microsoft Excel into an Autodesk Inventor Drawing.īut with that table placed into the drawing, there's an additional benefit I think makes this work flow worth considering. “We definitely have noticed more interest in table games.”
