AutoCAD 2013
Microsoft Excel 2010
Operating on Windows 7
I recently taught myself how to use data links while linking an Excel Spreadsheet to an AutoCAD Table.
In our process, all of our master files are DWGs and NOT DWTs, so when I created my table along with 120 data links, these are all within a DWG file. For each new job the detailer will copy the files into their specific working folder and rename per their job.
With the chart that I created, a large portion of the data links are breaking when the file name is changed, but not all of them.
I originally made the excel sheet password protected so no one could modify the data. I unprotected it, but the data link issues are continuing.
I added 2 attachments showing that the links are broken. One attachment shows the master links with no issues, the other shows them after the ACAD file name changed. Link #'s blocked for confidentiality...
Any Tips or Advice on why this is happening?
