Manually Add Parameters
in a Design Table
When you use
design tables in the SolidWorks software, it is important to format
the tables properly.
To manually add certain types
of parameters in a design
table, with the appropriate worksheet cell active:
-
Dimensions. Double-click
a dimension in the graphics area. (Make sure that the necessary dimensions
are displayed before
you open the design table.)
The Dimension@Feature or
Dimension@Sketch parameter is
inserted in the cell.
-
Feature suppression. Double-click
a face of the feature.
The $STATE@Feature parameter
is inserted in the cell.
-
Component suppression. Double-click
a face of the component.
The $STATE@component<instance>
parameter is inserted in the cell.
As you continue to add parameters this way,
the adjacent cell (C2, D2,
and so on) is activated automatically. Each parameter is added to the
header row, and the current value is displayed in row 3.
You can also use the Modify Configurations dialog
box to configure the types of parameters listed above. Right-click an
item and select Configure dimension,
Configure feature, or Configure
component. Then select Auto-create
in the Design Table PropertyManager
when you create the design table.
