- Inserted a BOM into an assembly.
- Saved the BOM as an Excel file.
- Deleted original BOM then inserted an Object (the linked Excel file).
- I tested the Excel file to see if edits were propagating back to the embedded table in SW.
Problem: when I make edits to the Excel file (which successfully feeds back to SW once the Excel file was saved/closed) I expected to see my edits (i.e. Component descriptions) update in the Display Tree. They do not... I assume I'm simply doing something wrong.?
Perhaps I'm simply expecting too much of this functionality.?
Reason for this pursuit: We've got several thousand part descriptions which need to be edited (and also several custom property fields) and it's infinitely faster to do this via Excel rather than double-clicking on individual cells in a Bill of Materials table directly in SW.
Is there a better way to handle this problem?
