When you use design tables in the SolidWorks software, it is important to format the tables properly.
Contents
When you select Auto-create or Blank in the Design Table PropertyManager, the SolidWorks software automatically creates the Excel file. Automatically created design tables include the Family cell.
You can manually create a design table in Microsoft Excel by typing configuration names in the first column (cells A3, A4, and so on) and parameters in the first row (cells B2, C2, and so on). Cell A1 must be blank.
When the SolidWorks software processes a design table, it processes each configuration in the column with configuration names (top to bottom), then processes each parameter in the parameter row (left to right).
The SolidWorks software stops processing a design table if it reaches invalid parameters in a cell. A summary of design table parameters is available.
