Hello Steve
often I've been confused if you are talking on "relationship" or "history" issue.
Baut relationship between features, it seems not war, because parametric is on the route of CoCreate "not history" based CAD.
It has to be improved, no dubt, to make it stronger and useful.
About "history", maybe it can add some in several cases, but I think, contestual with strong 3D parametric (not "parametric profiles" based) has is chances.
Parameters needs, history may be, but, I think it os not so hard without.
Execel is not "history based", but "relationship" based.
Think working with excel trying to change a value watching "history" of a cell, I thing it would not help so much.
I ever use excel working with OSD, ever, and what I miss is a direct OSD/Excel dialog (I have to pass throug txt file, really boring).
I see CatiA users that "dream" to use Excel, but when they try "actually" it seems ever a nightmare, believe me.
Be happy switching on SE, it is a great history-parametric SW that I like much more of SWX and has a great sheet-metal module.
Jump here when u like it.
ciao
