How do I retrieve a quote value on a drawing in excel?

3D Design Volume Model

Hello everyone,

I would like to retrieve the value measured with the Dimensioning tool on a drawing in an Excel table.

I would of course like to keep the link, that when my rating changes it value is updated in the table.

FYI I have copied-pasted the area of my table on my drawing

thank you in advance

Hello

You have to use the part families, it's a powerful and very practical feature of SolidWorks, see these tutorials:

or create an entity (for example a sketched line), dimension the length of this line (dimension which will in fact be driven by geometry), call this dimension in the table.

Then just hide that line.

You can make it shorter by directly creating a dimension in the 3D but according to the users, it is more likely to give off (it is an annotation that will appear at the same time as the other annotations).

Hello

I had a system at the time to do what you want to do.

At the beginning I had made a family of parts, and I needed stitches for machining, so I
recreated a sketch with the points I had to recover and put dimensions driven by
configurations.

By updating each configue, the dimensions piloted in the family of parts had been
automatically to updates.

If you're interested in it, I can make a mini tutorial to do it ^_^

The problem is on the substance or on the form?

Because the formatting is modifiable and we achieve the desired goal: to have the SolidWorks dimensions on Excel.
