Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

$TOLERANCE@DimName@FeatureName

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Row 3

Answer

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.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

$USER_NOTES

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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