When the SOLIDWORKS software processes a design table, it gathers the list of configuration names from the leftmost column (top to bottom). Then for each configuration it processes the parameters (left to right).
If the software encounters a:
- blank cell in the parameter row, it goes to the next configuration name and applies the associated parameters
- blank cell in the configuration name column, it stops processing because it assumes the design table has ended
In the example below, only the Default configuration is processed by the software. Because row 4 is blank, configurations C1 and C2 are not processed.
