Summary of Design Table Parameters

When you use design tables in the SOLIDWORKS software, it is important to format the tables properly.
The parameter syntax (header cells) are not case sensitive.

Parts only

Parameter Syntax (header cell)	Legal Values (body cell)	Default if Value is Left Blank
$`configuration`@`part_name`
	configuration name	not evaluated
$`configuration`@`feature_name`
	configuration name	not evaluated
$library:material@`part_name` $library:material@`body_name`@`part_name`
	library name and material name from the Materials dialog box	the current material at the time the configuration is created

Parts and Assemblies

	Parameter Syntax (header cell)	Legal Values (body cell)	Default if Value is Left Blank
	$comment	any text string	empty
	$description	any text string	configuration name
	$partnumber	any text string	configuration name
	$state@`feature_name`
		Suppressed, S; Unsuppressed, U	Unsuppressed
	$state@`sketch_name`
		Suppressed, S; Unsuppressed, U	Unsuppressed
	`dimension`@`feature_name`
		any legal decimal value for the dimension	not evaluated
	`dimension`@`sketch_name`
		any legal decimal value for the dimension	not evaluated
	$hw-size@`feature_name`	any value listed in Size in the Hole Wizard PropertyManager	smallest hole size available
	$parent	parent configuration name	property is undefined
	$prp@`property`	any text string	property is undefined
Equations in Configurations	$state@`equation_number`@equations
		Suppressed, S; Unsuppressed, U	Unsuppressed
	$state@`lighting_name`
		Suppressed, S, 1; Unsuppressed, U, 0	Unsuppressed
	$state@`sketch_relation`@`sketch_name`
		Suppressed, S; Unsuppressed, U	Unsuppressed
	$user_notes	Suppressed, S; Unsuppressed, U	not evaluated
	$color	32-bit integer specifying RGB (red, green, blue) color	zero (black)
	$sw-mass	any legal decimal value for the mass	The calculated value of mass in the Mass Properties dialog box.
	$sw-cog	any legal decimal value for the coordinates of the center of mass, in the format x, y, z	The calculated value of mass in the Mass Properties dialog box.
	$tolerance@`dimension_name`
		See Tolerances in Configurations.	NONE, or for a derived configuration, the tolerance value of its parent.

Assemblies only

Parameter Syntax (header cell)	Legal Values (body cell)	Default if Value is Left Blank
$displaystate	display state name	For new configurations, `Display State-1`. For existing configurations, the name of that configuration's most recently active display state.
$fixed	Yes (or Y) for fixed; No (or N) for not fixed (floating)	Not fixed (floating)
$state@`component_name`<`instance`>
	Resolved, R; Suppressed, S	Resolved
$configuration@`component_name`<`instance`>
	configuration name	The name of the configuration that is active when you create the cell. If the component uses a derived configuration, and the value is left blank, the configuration used is linked to its parent.
$never_expand_in_BOM	Yes (never expand); No (allow to expand)	No

Obsolete parameters

	Parameter Syntax (header cell)	Legal Values (body cell)	Default if Value is Left Blank
	$show@`component_name`<`instance`>	$SHOW is obsolete.
