tabella variabili solid edge + excel: problem

[Be_on_edge]

[mode bastard ON]Well, come on, don't let me talk about the variable table of if inside, which is like shooting on the red cross :tongue:
better then sell to gugliemo gates, which then someone sells for the data table (excel) and someone else for the iterface office style [mode bastard OFF]

What is so shocking?

Hi.

I misunderstood:

also in swx, as in itself, although not having excel it is possible to connect through equations the variables of the model, and also create new variables generated by the user according to which then drive the model.
It's slightly more uncomfortable than in itself but you can do the same.

Yes, the equations link variables but then you find yourself with a list of equations that cannot replace the convenience of a spreadsheet.
in addition to swx with the command data table both variables but also create part configurations or together with the flight, commanding almost everything, from size to components suspension states etc. in such a table make a past copy from excel is immediate and allows you to create very complex multiple configurations in a few minutes.
I certainly would have preferred to use the spreadsheet of open office rather than works but so it is, and "eat that soup", with swx, it is practically mandatory

Hi.

I attach image to make you understand what you are talking about.

Sure a spreadsheet is faster and more convenient, but if the price to pay is the non portability of the files (how can I know if the recipient as well as the cad will have the editing program for that spreadsheet?) then maybe better avoid.

in a way the problem does not arise because if you use swx you must also have excel unless you decide to do without all that concerns the configuration of parts and together through data table
and I believe that no one can do it unless so the probability of sending the file to someone who cannot use it is almost nothing
It pissed me too, and not little. I bought office and amen.
there is to say that the versatility of the data table in swx (which is incorporated by default in the file and not a separate excel file) is however remarkable and if you use parts or assemblies with different configurations guided by complex tables iho have as the only environment escel is a manna from the sky.
if it had been possible to do so with any spreadsheet you would have had the almost certainty of possible incompatibility between files created with swx+excel and beds from swx+openoffice or swx+lotus etc.
I think it's the story of the full barrel and the drunk wife. . .

Hi.

Of course, 600 euros per office... These are the classic things that make me mad at the inverosimile!

I can understand the need of the ms-excel engine for links between swx files and excel external files, but even having implemented it for internal management of files seems really too, and also wrong from the design point of view.
also because you force users to be aligned on office versions as well as swx versions if they want to talk (other expenses). I was reading on the internet that users had problems after updating office, like tables that no longer work because the executable excel.exe version 2002 behaves differently from executable excel.exe version 2007 etc etc.

then in the end solidworks costs 6500 the classic version, + 300 for excel (or 600 per office) on the installation "workplace" + 300 for excel (or 600 per office) of office for the installation "home"?
I was approaching swx quite well arranged but I seriously begin to be puzzled, among things that the cad cannot do and hidden costs. . .

Maybe now you won't have to spend that money by office. . .
with the release of the 2010 version, they put a slice of office free (until now was the software works), to make openoffice competition.
if I do not erro it will be possible to have excel, word and powerpoint, even if we only need the first.
so if what I have read is true you can download excel2010 for free.
nb: all I have to verify, I just read it out.

Hi.

for what is online is free....installed on the pc I don't know.

Bye.

 

[cacciatorino]

it seems to me that office free (the so-called "starter edition") will be available only as oem, ie as the first equipment on new pcs, and therefore not downloadable and not purchaseable.

...so as not said!
if one necessarily has to use it could take the "home and student" version to 99€ and now it seems even less... but it is not valid for commercial licenses so even if it works well you would work illegally.
