3 In the Table Driven Setup dialog box, select Update Link and choose OK.
Choose OK to exit the Design Variables dialog box.
The Desktop Browser now contains a Table icon nested below PART1_1. The
four part versions you created in the spreadsheet are listed below the Table
icon.
The PART1_1 (35) icon displays the active version in parentheses. The Table
(tdpart1.xls) icon indicates the name of the spreadsheet that is linked to your
drawing.
Next, display each version of the table driven part. When you select a ver-
sion, Mechanical Desktop recalculates the part, using the values for the vari-
ables that correspond to the selected version.
Displaying Part Versions
You display part versions by selecting them from the Desktop Browser.
To display a part version
1 Display the 46 part version.
Browser Double-click the 4x6 icon.
The 4x6 version is calculated and displayed.
2 Repeat step 1 for the other two versions.
The part versions do not differ, except in size. In the next lesson, you add
another part version by editing the spreadsheet.
