How can you show multiple configurations in a BOM
How can you show multiple configurations in a BOM
(OP)
I am creating a tabulated drawing of o-rings. I want to show each of them (created by design table and managed by configurations" in a list on the drawing. Is there a way to make the BOM serve as the list and update automatically?
basically show all configurations with Configuration specific properties list in the BOM

One way of doing it, is by creating annotations linked to each property you want to show, and organize these annotations in a tabulated form.
These annotations will update if you change your model (configuration).
The bigest drawback of this system is that you need to add a line on the table when you add a new configuration.

Although a BOM could probably be manipulated to show what you want, that would be misusing the BOM. It was never intended to be used for that function.
One of the intended uses of a DT is is for the function you describe.

A BOM (Parts List) is meant to be used in an assy drawing to list all the parts used.
Check the Help file index for design tables, in drawings and follow the Related Topics links. There is an example in one of them.
