Linking Autotext and Excel

Hi there,

is there any way to link autotext fields with excel, like editing an excel sheet with datas, that can be read by the layout file. The approach is not editing in layout all the datas. Also I would have an excel sheet that gives a “translation” of technical terms, so for customers I have the simple description, for production I have the correct description from the manufacturer…

I know that the Layout file is a zip, where you have all compressed datas and you may change datas in this way, but that is too complicated…

Thanks in advance…
