A design table
allows
you to build multiple configurations of parts or assemblies by specifying parameters in an
embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet.
To use design tables, you must have Microsoft Excel
installed on your computer.
Parts
You can control the following items in a part design table:
- Dimensions
and suppression state of
features
and
size of Hole Wizard
holes.
- Configuration properties including part number
in a bill of materials, derived configurations, equations, sketch
relations, materials, and custom properties.
Assemblies
You can control the following parameters in an assembly design table:
- Components
– suppression state, referenced configuration, fixed or floating
position.
- Assembly
features – dimensions, suppression state, size of Hole Wizard
holes.
- Mates
– dimensions of distance and angle mates, suppression
state.
- Configuration properties – part number and
display in a bill of materials (when used as a subassembly), derived
configurations, equations, sketch relations, custom properties, display
states.
