Read the first 7 Design Tables flashcards as text

  1. What Design Table column header syntax controls a tolerance value for a dimension?

    Answer: $TOLERANCE@DimName@FeatureName

    The '$TOLERANCE@DimName@FeatureName' syntax in a Design Table header drives the tolerance type and values for a specified dimension per configuration.

  2. In SOLIDWORKS Design Tables, which Excel row contains the first configuration's values?

    Answer: Row 3

    Row 1 holds the header (cell A1 = '$CONFIGURATION'), row 2 holds column parameter headers, and row 3 is where the first configuration's data begins.

  3. Which Design Table parameter controls the user notes field of a configuration?

    Answer: $USER_NOTES

    The '$USER_NOTES' column header in a Design Table populates the User Notes field for each configuration in the Configuration Manager.

  4. How does SOLIDWORKS handle Design Table columns that reference parameters not yet defined in the model?

    Answer: It creates the parameter if it can, otherwise warns and skips

    SOLIDWORKS will attempt to create recognizable parameters (like new custom properties) but will warn and skip any column headers it cannot resolve in the model.

  5. What is the maximum number of configurations that can be driven by a single Design Table in SOLIDWORKS?

    Answer: No hard limit imposed by SOLIDWORKS, but performance degrades with hundreds

    SOLIDWORKS imposes no hard configuration limit in Design Tables, but performance and rebuild times degrade significantly as configuration count grows into the hundreds.

  6. In a Design Table, which syntax controls whether a component in an assembly is suppressed or resolved?

    Answer: $STATE@ComponentName

    In assembly Design Tables, '$STATE@ComponentName' controls the suppression or resolved state of a specific component instance.

  7. Which cell coordinate in a standard SOLIDWORKS Design Table contains the name of the first configuration?

    Answer: A3

    Cell A3 contains the name of the first configuration, since A1 holds '$CONFIGURATION' and row 2 is the parameter header row.
