Kevin asks:
AutoCAD 2002
Windows XP
Is it possible to "link" information from one drawing to another? What I am trying to do is change dimensions in one drawing and have the dimensions on another drawing "linked" to the first drawing so it's dimensions would update automatically.
I was thinking that maybe with some method using reactors to update an excel spreadsheet when a dimension gets changed (stretched), and then link the same cell to another drawing. Personally, I think it would be more prudent to create an drawing to be externally referenced and it would contain part and dimension(s) and reference it into a drawing. No need for 3rd party software.
Suggestions?
