CSWP Automating with Design Tables 4

Question 1

A Design Table drives a Toolbox fastener configuration. Which parameter type is NOT directly controllable via a Design Table column?

Accepted Answer

Surface finish appearance

Answer

Appearance/render properties such as surface finish are not model parameters and cannot be driven through Design Table columns.

Question 2

What is the maximum recommended number of configurations in a single SolidWorks Design Table before performance typically degrades noticeably?

Accepted Answer

100

Answer

SolidWorks documentation and best-practice guides recommend keeping Design Tables under approximately 100 configurations to avoid significant rebuild slowdowns.

Question 3

Which of the following Design Table header tokens controls whether an entire body in a multibody part is suppressed?

Accepted Answer

$BODYSTATE@BodyName

Answer

$BODYSTATE@BodyName is the correct header syntax to control the suppression state of a named solid body in a multibody Design Table.

Question 4

In a Design Table, the header $TOLERANCE@D1@Boss-Extrude1 would control which property?

Accepted Answer

The tolerance value of dimension D1 on Boss-Extrude1

Answer

$TOLERANCE@ drives the tolerance specification (e.g., bilateral, limit) for the named dimension in that feature.

Question 5

When generating a Design Table from an existing model using 'Auto-create', which parameters does SolidWorks offer to include by default?

Accepted Answer

All dimensions and suppression states currently different between configurations

Answer

Auto-create scans existing configurations and populates columns for parameters that already vary between them.
