Hello everyone, I have a question about the drawing part of solidworks, the dimensions of my part are guided by a number of solidworks " Equations " and I would like to retrieve some of these values for my drawing. Basically, I want the tables that I have in my drawing to be filled with these equations, Thank you in advance for your help

Thank you @A.R I was already aware of this text file and I have already created one, but I can't link the boxes of my table to an external link, the text file, I don't see it displayed in the " Link to property " dialog box

Thanks to both of you for your help, I found a solution creating new properties that are related to my equations and that are easily found in the drawing.

@Leo_LOUREIRO ...
It wasn't very clear, were you talking about the equations or their results?

@Maclane I wanted the result of these equations (which are managed by a family of parts in Excel) to be visible on a table that I inserted into my drawing. To tell the truth I expressed myself a little badly, these are not equations strictly speaking but global variables

In this case, there is also the possibility of retrieving all or part of your Excel table used for the creation of your parts families:

This avoids the creation of supernumerary properties...

@Maclane that's what I had done at the beginning but being in internship I presented it to my master and he told me that he didn't like the insertion of excel spreadsheets in the M.E.P. I so looked for another solution, my problem now being that I can't take text in this way
