Design Tables Proble
(OP)
Hi!
I want to know how to make extruded,cut features and pattern features parametric , so that I can use then in design table. For example I have a flange in which no . ho holes for bolts depend upon the flange size. Bur when I use circular pattern feature to generate the array, I am not able to control no of hole for various sizes. Can anybody give a clue?

RE: Design Tables Proble
You could write a formula like this:
"N_Holes@CirPattern1" = "Diam@sketch1"/60
in the case of a 200mm flange, the value of N_Holes would evaluate to 3.333333. Solidworks will round that off and render an integer value of three.
Now any time you change the diameter, the hole pattern will follow.
If for some reason you do not have a set pattern for given diameter, you can simply bring the pattern dimensions into the design table and drive them that way.
hope that helps

RE: Design Tables Proble
This has really worked. I was able to use an Excel table containing no of holes , extruded length , depth of cut etc.
