Hi all !
Recently I reinstalled Windows 7 on my computer. Before that, I made a short application using Design table in Catia V5 R 21 using Excel files, and now Catia doesn't recognize the excel format, giving the attached error, even if I never changed anything. I've tried to start a new part an to establishes a new design table to a simple excel file (office 2007), with ony 2 parameters to use, but unsuccessful. I've tried also the example gived by Dassault on catia documentation ( but I received the same error. I tried to change the settings from Catia, then to change the units from excel, to create a file from excel 2003 .xls, but I've never succeed. I mention that I have 3,5 year experience in designing with Catia, and I never received this error. Seems that the design table is working with TXT file, so I thing that the problem is from the excel file (Is mandatory to use excel files)
Please, if somebody know how I can fix this issue, please let a message !
