Creating a Design
Table
To create a design table, you define the names of the configurations
you want to create, you specify the parameters you want to control, and
you assign values for each parameter.
There are several ways to create a design table:
Insert a new, empty design table in the model,
and enter the design table information directly in the worksheet. When
you finish entering the design table information, the new configurations
are automatically created in the model.
Have the SolidWorks software automatically create
the design table. SolidWorks loads all configured parameters and their
associated values from a part or assembly.
Create a design table worksheet as a separate
operation in Microsoft Excel. Save the worksheet, then insert
it in the model document to create the configurations.
You can insert a partially completed worksheet, then edit it later to
add more configurations, to control additional parameters, or to update
values.
When you use
design tables in the SolidWorks software, it is important to format
the tables properly.
