Read the first 7 Design Tables flashcards as text

  1. What is the correct column header syntax in a Design Table to control whether a feature is suppressed or unsuppressed?

    Answer: $STATE@FeatureName

    The '$STATE@FeatureName' header controls the suppression state of a feature, accepting values like 'S' (suppressed) or 'U' (unsuppressed).

  2. In a Design Table, what value is used to unsuppress a feature?

    Answer: U or Unsuppressed

    Entering 'U' or 'Unsuppressed' in a Design Table cell sets the referenced feature to the unsuppressed (active) state for that configuration.

  3. Which Design Table creation method allows SOLIDWORKS to automatically populate columns based on existing dimensions and features?

    Answer: Auto-create

    The 'Auto-create' option scans the model's dimensions and features and automatically generates a Design Table with pre-populated column headers.

  4. When using a Design Table, which of the following controls the description of each configuration?

    Answer: $DESCRIPTION column header

    The '$DESCRIPTION' column header in a Design Table populates the Description field of each configuration, visible in the Configuration Manager.

  5. A Design Table is linked to an external Excel file. What happens to the model configurations if the external file is moved?

    Answer: SOLIDWORKS shows a broken link warning and configurations may not update

    If the linked Excel file is moved or missing, SOLIDWORKS displays a warning indicating the link is broken and cannot update configurations from the file.

  6. In a Design Table, how is a configuration's part number controlled?

    Answer: $PARTNUMBER column header

    The '$PARTNUMBER' column header in a Design Table drives the Part Number field for each configuration, which is displayed in the Bill of Materials.

  7. When editing a Design Table in-place and clicking outside the spreadsheet, what action does SOLIDWORKS prompt?

    Answer: Asks whether to update the model with the new table data

    Clicking outside the embedded Design Table triggers a prompt asking whether to update the SOLIDWORKS model with changes made to the table.
