Display States in Configurations

You can create multiple display states for each configuration of an assembly or part..

To control display states in a design table, you must link display states to configurations. Select Link Display States to Configurations at the bottom of the Display States section on the ConfigurationManager tab .

In a design table, the column header for controlling the active display state uses this syntax:

$DISPLAYSTATE

The column header is not case sensitive.

In the table body cells, enter the display state name. If a cell is left blank:

  • For new configurations, the system adds Display State-<n> to the table.

  • For existing configurations, the system adds the name of that configuration's most recently active display state.

Example of a design table that controls the display state of assembly configurations:
