    Link a Mastercam File to Excel

    Is it possible to link a Mastercam file to Excel so that when you update the cad file it will automatically update Excel. As well being visible in Excel, rather than just an icon.

    Thanks,
    Ed

    In a word, yes, (not knowing what exactally you want to do inside the excel file, or what data from MC you want in it). You'd have to VBScript it or chook it though.

    What I thinking, is linking my tool drawing to my Excel Setup sheet so all my info gets kept and printed in one package.

    If you're using a script to do this already, (make the excell setup sheet), then you can create a toolbar button that calls that script and just run it when you finish your cam file, or, (like in my case, I use a script to 'quick save' without prompting), you could do something similar and just tag the setup sheet script on the end of it.
