Inserted eDrawing view into an Excel file

Hello

 

I would like to know if it is possible to insert an eDrawing file into an Excel spreadsheet? 

(I've already seen that it was possible in Word or Publisher)

In Excel I am only the logo of the object and no view :/

 

Sincerely

Hello 

If you make a screen print and paste it into the file it should work.

Hello, otherwise you import your excel sheet in word, and you add your edrawing!?

 

Kind regards

Good evening

I have the impression that without going through a macro, the activation of the viewer in excel is not done natively.

AC Cobra 427 is the solution we use but quite tedious in the sense that you have to update manually

G. & Cyril.f Solution tries and doesn't work but I think I've put my finger on another problem because it gives me a message that EModelView is not a strange installation :/

It feels like the moment when you have to try to repair the installation if I'm not mistaken! :)

@ MaD

Have you read my link to my previous answer?

gt22 Yes I read your answer and your link but it does not correspond to my need because I want my excel files to always be the last visual of my assembly without the operator having to open the file via edrawing make a screen print or a saved one under and replace it in the excel file

Kind regards

Good evening

Here is the solution:

The only downside is that the file path should not change.

Kind regards.

industrialcadservices thank you for your feedback but the procedure is not the problem:) The problem is that it doesn't work cf my penultimate message on the first page:)

Otherwise it seems that there is an incompatibility between Office 32Bit and eDrawing which is in 64Bit (https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/107896)

Hello, I read across again:)

There is indeed an incompatibility problem between 64-bit Edrawing and 32-bit Office.

Your solution is to install Edrawing in 32 bits because if it hasn't changed with the latest versions of SW, SW was not compatible with Office 64 bits.

industrialcadservices I have already uninstalled the 32Bit version and I am in the process of installing the 64 so  we'll see if it solves my problem and no generates ps else :/

Well there is better with office 64Bit on the other hand you have to go through the developpeut tool and insert an activeX control of the eDrawing type but I am facing another problem which makes that by validating the preview is displayed and Word crashes but not in Excel :/

Before you proceed, make sure that you can create a part family in SW.

If you get a message like "Excel must be installed, blah blah blah... " is that SW does not support 64-bit office.
