(OP)
Is it possible to make a configuration part in catia? All the people who had worked on Solid works know what's a configuration part.
A configuration is: a part with a different lenght. You draw just one part but you create other one with different dimension value and with each value you make a configuration. In the assembly, you load the configurations that you need. In pro_E it's called a family table.

With the design table, I can make a different configuration. But in the assembly, if I have 5 times the same part and I change the configuration of one of them, all the parts change at the same time. How can I change just one of the five parts?
RE: configuration
Could you give us some examples of parts you'd use this for?
(I'm thinking of a spring, shown in different lenghts. Or a door shown open or shut. Am I close?)

Just put different names for the parts (add an extention, for example EXT01, a.s.o.) in that Catalog which you have to create with the Design Table.

I believe it is possible to have the configurations you are looking for using a design table. But, I think you have to use SmarTeam or Enovia in order to handle the configurations in the context of a catalog.
Good Luck.

I able to make a catalog and a design table but when I insert a catalog part in the assembly, the part name is always the same, is the name of the original part. Is it possible to use the name of the catalog? I found nothing in the Online Documentation.
