RE: Is there any way to do a design tab

There are many different ways for one to interpret your question. But the way I'm understanding it is like this:

Is there any way to do a design table to change the configurations of the parts?

This is excatly the reason why design tables (DT) were created. When you are making your DT  the first coloumn is for your "Configuration Name". The columns that follow are for your dimensions an such. This will control the different sizes , and whether or not you have suppressed a feature of your parts or assemblies.

DT can do a lot more than you can think of. I write Automation programs using a DT and Excel. So I have to have a lot of different types of Configs already made but on another sheet. I simply paste them on to sheet one (Using my program) and walllla, a new and different config from the last one made.

If I'm wrong in my interpretation of your post, please let me know! Otherwise I...

Hope that helps,

RE: Is there any way to do a design tab

What I need is to change in an assembly, like that:


Assembly              Box               Product
 
Size G              Type 1               Type 2
Siza GG             Type 2               Type 2

The type of the Box and the Product are configurations of the parts
The Size of the assembly are the configurations of the assembly
In the Assembly I want to do a DT to change the configurations of the parts and choose in the case of the part named Box if I need the Type 1 or Type 2
the variable in the Assembly is not a Dimension, It is a " configuration's part"

Now i think is more easy to understand.

RE: Is there any way to do a design tab

I think I'm following you now. You want a DT in an assembly and you want to pick certain config's of a part that you have previously made.

No Problem, this one is easy!!!

Put this in your DT in the assembly:

$configuration@PartName<instance>
Type1

This should be the way your example should look.

Assembly  $configuration@Box<1>  $configuration@Product<2>
 
Assem1            Type 1                   Type 2
Assem2            Type 2                   Type 2

I Hope that helps,
