Name of file to which to save the configuration rules data

Return Value

Designers use the SOLIDWORKS Configuration Publisher to build configuration rules into their documents to constrain how the documents are seen by users who download them from 3D Content Central. (To open the Configuration Publisher in SOLIDWORKS, open a document, right-click on the top-level configuration name in the ConfigurationManager, and click Configuration Publisher).

Configuration rules are typically functions of the document's design table parameters. These rules specify how to display the document in different configurations. The Configuration Publisher inserts into the document the configuration rules in two formats: original and generic. 

This method allows user-interface developers to extract configuration rule information in the generic, multi-use format. Developers can then modify the extracted XML file to display the document in a format that differs from this multi-use format. 

The Configuration Publisher can also upload documents along with their configuration rules to 3D Content Central. See the 3D Content Central web site to learn more.
