Component Configuration
The column header in a design table
to control component configuration uses this syntax:
$CONFIGURATION@component<instance>
The column header is not
case sensitive.
In the table body cells, enter the name of the desired configuration.
If you leave this table body cell blank, SolidWorks uses the name of
the configuration that is active when you create the cell. The software
continues to associate that name with the cell, even if you subsequently
activate another configuration of the component.
If the assembly
configuration is derived, and the table body cell is left blank, the value
of the component configuration used is linked to the assembly configuration's
parent.
Below is an example of a design table that controls a component configuration.
Because the table body cell of Derived_config
is left blank, the component configuration used is linked to Parent_config,
which is Default.

You can also right-click
a component and select Configure
component to configure the component configuration.
