Summary


Details

The user opens an embedded excel file from Solid Edge draft and wants to run a macro inside but the macro is blocked and there seems to be no way to enable macros. On the other hand, if the same excel file is opened outside of Solid Edge macros can be enabled and executed. This issue shows up with Office 365.

Solution

Currently, there is no solution to this but the following workaround.

- Open any Excel spreadsheet including macros in Excel.

- Open the embedded Excel file from Solid Edge draft.

- Excel will show the option to enable macros. Click Enable Macros.

Notes

This is a general issue which does not apply to Solid Edge only. PR #10645232 exists for this.
